Students at Yale Law School staged a sit-in on Monday and called for an investigation into sexual assault accusations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Videos and photos posted on Twitter show dozens of students dressed in black lining the hallway at Yale's Sterling Law Building. The move led some faculty members to either cancel or reschedule classes, the law school said.

Yale Law School Dean Heather Gerken said in a statement on Monday that the allegations against Kavanaugh are "rightly causing deep concern" at the institution.
"Students have worked with the Law School administration and faculty so that the community can come together as a whole to discuss this important moment in our country’s history," she said.
She also noted that "as dean, I cannot take a position on the nomination."

Hundreds of women who graduated from Yale University have signed an open letter supporting a former student accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of exposing himself to her at the college.
"We are coming forward as women of Yale because we have a shared experience of the environment that shaped not only Judge Kavanaugh’s life and career, but our own," reads the letter, which was published on Medium on Monday.
"We are committed to supporting all women who have faced sexual assault, not only at Yale, but across the country," the letter said, before demanding that the new allegations against Kavanaugh be "thoroughly investigated" and that a confirmation vote be delayed until the charges are probed.
The letter attracted more than 900 signatures as of 1:30 p.m. on Monday.
