Yale Law Students Refuse to Go to Class, Stage 'Sit-in' Over Brett Kavanaugh Assault Claims
Source: Law & Crime
by Matt Naham | 10:46 am, September 24th, 2018
First it was Yale Law School faculty and now its Yale Law School students.
Its Monday morning and students dressed in black are filling the halls at Yale Law School, as part of a sit-in. Students are reportedly seeking an investigation of sexual misconduct allegations against President Donald Trumps Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, a Yale undergrad and law school alumnus.

It happens after Yale alumna Deborah Ramirez alleged on Sunday in a New Yorker story that Kavanaugh committed sexual misconduct by exposing himself when she was drunk during a dorm room party. Kavanaugh has also been accused of attempted sexual assault by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.

I hope the whole student body gets involved in this. It reflects well on all of them IMHO.
