Isn't everyone entitled to legal counsel?

I guess Harvard doesn't think so as it will not renew the appointment of Ronald Sullivan and his wife as faculty deans of Winthrop House, one of Harvard’s undergraduate residential houses. The reason being that he is one of the lawyers who represented the Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein in advance of his coming sexual assault trial. Why was his representing Weinstein a bad thing? "Reports by some students that they felt unsafe in an institution led by a lawyer who would take on Mr. Weinstein as a client."
