Students Filed Title IX Complaints Against Kavanaugh to Prevent Him From Teaching at Harvard Law
Before Harvard Law School announced that Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh would not teach in January, undergraduates filed Title IX complaints alleging his presence would violate the university's sexual harassment policy. The complaints aimed to prevent Kavanaugh's return, with 48 students signing an online petition certifying they had filed. Despite the strategy, Title IX experts deemed it unlikely to succeed. Kavanaugh faces allegations of sexual assault from Christine Blasey Ford, Deborah Ramirez, and Julie Swetnick, which prompted protests and demands for an investigation before allowing him to teach.| Creator |
