Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh will not return to Harvard Law School to teach a course that he was previously scheduled to teach in the winter 2019 term.
Harvard Associate Dean Catherine Claypoole wrote in an email to Harvard Law students on Monday evening that the school will not offer the course because Kavanaugh can "no longer commit" to teaching it.
"Today, Judge Kavanaugh indicated that he can no longer commit to teaching his course in January Term 2019, so the course will not be offered," Claypoole wrote, according to the Harvard Crimson.
Kavanaugh was slated to teach a course called "The Supreme Court since 2005."
A group of Harvard Law School students had previously urged the school to stop allowing Kavanaugh to teach there until there was an investigation into accusations of sexual assault made against him.
"Will Harvard Law School take seriously the credible allegation of Kavanaugh’s sexual assault against a young woman before he is allowed to continue teaching young women?" Molly Coleman, Vail Kohnert-Yount, Jake Meiseles and Sejal Singh wrote in The Harvard Law Record. "Or will Harvard allow him to teach students without further inquiry?"
"Unless a full and fair investigation is conducted, Harvard Law School cannot allow Kavanaugh to continue teaching its students and the Senate cannot confirm him to the Supreme Court," the students continued.
Kavanaugh's confirmation process to the Supreme Court has been upended in recent weeks amid the accusations. Three women — Christine Blasey Ford, Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnick — have accused him of sexual misconduct.
President Trump last week asked the FBI to reopen a background investigation of Kavanaugh focusing on those allegations after Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) called for a probe.
do supreme court justices usually teach at colleges while sitting on the bench?
He won’t be able to teach there because he will be working on the Supreme Court.
He’ll be too busy with his work as a Supreme Court Justice.
During the summer I think a lot of them do.
Kavanaugh withdrew his commitment. The comment by the student “credible accusation,” is indeed troubling.
The first payment exacted for being a white male, accused.
No more coaching girls basketball either, I’m sure.
I know that John Roberts always goes to either New Zealand or Malta to teach a course on history and law.
“”Unless a full and fair investigation is conducted, Harvard Law School cannot allow Kavanaugh to continue teaching its students and the Senate cannot confirm him to the Supreme Court,” the students continued.”
A realistic instance of an institution where the inmates of the asylum are in charge.
For the first couple of years, until he’s gotten his routine down.
My hate is turning white hot for these people.
He’s tagged as a rapist for life. Bill Clinton and his enabler are tagged as victims of the Russians.
Insanity prevails.
Our system of justice is OVER.
He likely doesn’t want to deal with the psychotic Libs in public for a while. Who could blame him?
Abused a young woman when he himself was a minor and the “victim” 15? MMMhmmm... sure...
I’m sure this hurt very deeply.
Prayers up.
No time. The newest Justice, in addition to his legal duties, is required to open and close doors and make the coffee. I’ll bet Gorsuch is really glad a newbie is on the way.
I look forward to the day that the Harvard Schools of Business and Law are burned to the ground and all the staff are driven naked into the wilderness.
