Against The Hiring of Preet Bharara to The NYU School of Law

Against The Hiring of Preet Bharara to The NYU School of Law

Cie Sharp, Guest Writer September 25, 2017
I write this message to protest the hiring of former US Attorney Preet Bharara to the NYU School of Law. During the prosecution of Mitch Cohen, his business partner, Gregg Star, was given immunity by Mr. Bharara and his office. Star went on to defraud my family and myself.
Fired by the Trump administration, former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, Preet Bharara, will be joining NYU Law School on April 1. Both Bharara and the members of the school are excited for his position as a distinguished scholar in residence.
