Kavanaugh's teaching job on the line

As it should be.
In response to student protests over the sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee and Harvard Law School visiting lecturer Brett Kavanaugh, John F. Manning, dean of the law school, sent an email to students with an assurance: Should any concerns arise about “individuals in our teaching program,” the school will take them seriously.

Whether Kavanaugh will continue teaching, Manning wouldn’t say.

While the dean of Yale Law School — Kavanaugh’s alma matter — has already joined the American Bar Association in calling for an FBI investigation into the allegations, Harvard has yet to make any such statements.

The school’s students, however, have been notably more outspoken, with The Harvard Crimson reporting that hundreds of law school students walked out of class during Thursday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in a show of support for Kavanaugh’s accusers.
