WBUR has issued a statement regarding political commentator Paris Dennard, who was the subject of a Washington Post article published Wednesday night about alleged misconduct when Dennard was associated with Arizona State University:

Paris Dennard is not an employee of NPR. He has provided periodic contributions as a political commentator on Here & Now, a program NPR and WBUR coproduce. We are deeply concerned by the recent report about his alleged conduct at Arizona State University. WBUR is suspending any further usage of Mr. Dennard on Here & Now, effective immediately, pending further review.
