Undergraduate Council Demands Harvard Investigate Kavanaugh Allegations
The Harvard Undergraduate Council voted to demand an investigation into Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh's sexual assault allegations before he returns to lecture at the Law School. Multiple women, including Christine Blasey Ford, have accused Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, which he denies. The Council's decision follows protests at the Law School, urging a probe into the allegations. The Council's letter, passed with 25 votes in favor and 13 against, expresses solidarity with the accusers and condemns attempts to silence sexual assault victims. The letter criticizes Harvard's handling of past sexual harassment cases, specifically mentioning Government Professor Jorge I. Dominguez, and calls for greater accountability and support for survivors.| Creator |
