In a statement Tuesday morning, the Dean of Harvardâs Kennedy School, Douglas Elmendorf, said he âspoke with Elise and asked her to step aside from the Senior Advisory Committee.â âElise has made public assertions about voter fraud in Novemberâs presidential election that have no basis in evidence, and she has made public statements about court actions related to the election that are incorrect.
