Harvard Law accidentally started a rumor that Anthony Scaramucci died

He might be dead to President Trump, but otherwise, no matter what Harvard Law School says, Anthony Scaramucci is very much alive.

The former White House communications director was ousted from his position on Monday, at around the same time Harvard Law's new alumni directory started showing up at houses around the world containing a major blunder: Scaramucci, who graduated in 1989, had an asterisk placed next to his name, indicating he had died.

Harvard Law released a statement apologizing for the error, and said it will be corrected in the future. The directories are updated every five years, so this mistake will last much, much longer than Scaramucci's tenure in the White House.
