USC School of Cinematic Arts on Wednesday suspended embattled CBS Chief Executive Leslie Moonves from the school’s board shortly after the university’s communications department said it was temporarily removing Moonves’ name from its cutting-edge student newsroom.

“The school takes the recent allegations very seriously and will discuss further action when the board convenes in October,” the USC School of Cinematic Arts said in a statement.
