Judge Brett Kavanaugh testifies to the Senate Judiciary Committee during his Supreme Court confirmation hearing on Sept. 27, 2018. By Isaac Stanley-Becker Isaac Stanley-Becker Reporter based in the U.K. Email Bio Follow April 9 at 5:11 AM Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh will beat the Washington heat this summer and head for Runnymede, England, a bucolic borough 20 miles from London along the River Thames.
The judge, who was first nominated to the federal bench by President George W. Bush and to the nation’s top court by President Trump, used to teach at Harvard Law School. But administrators in Cambridge, Mass., informed students last fall that he had decided not to return this year to teach his course, “The Supreme Court Since 2005.” The announcement followed calls on Harvard, by hundreds of its students and alumni, to revoke his status as a lecturer.
“As a survivor of sexual assault, this decision has really impacted me negatively,” one student said, according to a clip of a meeting last Wednesday with the university’s Board of Visitors that was published by the College Fix, a conservative site focused on higher education. “It has affected my mental health knowing that an abuser will be part of our faculty.”
The student protesters have taken to social media and appeared at meetings of the university’s leadership to voice their concerns, which they have tied to broader grievances about the way the university polices sexual misconduct and the resources that it provides to victims. In fact, as the university president noted, another Supreme Court justice is also scheduled to teach overseas classes to George Mason law students this summer. Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, who replaced the law school’s namesake on the court, will for the second time teach a class in Padua, Italy, about national security and the separation of powers.
Posted by Mason For Survivors GMU on Wednesday, April 3, 2019 A supplementary investigation concluded by the FBI in early October could not corroborate accusations of sexual misconduct, though the probe was highly limited, for instance not involving interviews with Kavanaugh or his primary accuser, Christine Blasey Ford.
watercutter11 Do you all remember when honesty was the best policy? Now you only succeed based on how much money you have; who you know & most importantly, how good you lie.
LRBitisnot have a kegger to protest kava gnawed
This song is for all the strong women and certainly all the strong GMU students! 'Kavanaugh' RT
TrialLawyerRich Students have spoken..
Snowflake: 'It has affected my mental health knowing that an abuser will be part of our faculty'. She attends GeorgeMasonU while Kavanaugh is teaching in England. He is a SC Justice. 2 of his accusers lied & the 3rd can't name place or time and not one witness backed claim.
Old fart Republicans putting down young people...here we go again-a bunch of self appointed Jesuses looking down on youth.
He got on 60 minutes & lied. His act before Congress was unhinged, hysterical, & hormonal. What a perfect Supreme Corporate Justice.
They don't want someone who lied about sexual assault and was given a pass.
the day they pushed through Kavanaugh to protect them, to be their GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD is the day the GOP tainted the SCOTUS and basically turned it into a farce....insulting all those serving past, present & future....
He's going to be around for a looong time, Dems.
Liberals are the real bigots.
No US campus will take him.
This is what happens when stupid liberals teach bad things to children.
Poor babies.
smaqcksaidso My daughter went to Mason, he is HATED there
They want to learn the Constitution the way it was meant to be.
The same student will be lawyers and policy makers soon? America is scary place!!!
Is Kavanaugh also trying to make his job part-time?
The ignorant youth of today!
I’m just going over to PJ and sqees for beers.
The investigation was a sham on this clown, and his unheard of shouts of injustice performance was laughable. He’s the one that better get used to it, not the students.
Brett must have forgotten to tell his benefactors about a few more credit card bills and a second mortgage that need payin.’ Just sayin.’
He may find there are protests here in the UK for the duration of his stay.. It could be a very uncomfortable experience for him.
Sun Zheng Cai, the former Secretary of the CPC Chongqing Municipal Committee, is a dog bastard.
The result of focused insane hypocrisy...
And lest we forget he is a drunkard.
They will have to get used to things that make them feel discomfort
Inmates taking charge of the institution. Shut up & learn.
What about his lies during his first Senate confirmation 'I had nothing to do with the process of sheperd racist judges' for Bush when he was the point person and the findings of the Colorado circuit just last summer that there was evidence he lied during his 2018 hearings too?
It was not just about high school behaviour. It was about his biligerance, partisan outbursts, and threats of revenge against Democrats. It was about his lies as a nominee in regards to his youthful conduct. Liars now belong on the Supreme Court?
Last I heard, students went to college to learn, not to dictate policy.
These students obviously don't know how academe works. It is not a meritocracy but actually a mediocracy, where the mediocre advance and the meritorious don't. Besides, my bet is some oligarch promised George Mason U. a lot of money for hiring 'I like beer' Kavanaugh.
I thought Kavanaugh had a job. He shouldn't have the job. But he does. Just like Trump he wants his government job to be a part-time job.

“It has affected my mental health knowing that an abuser will be part of our faculty.” Poor little thing... Adult life will be a big shock to you when you enter it.
Maybe they should embrace the opportunity to be taught by a Supreme Court judge, and as law students, they might actually learn the concept of innocent until proven guilty. Just a thought. Carry on with the fake outrage however.
KAVANAUGH IS A CROOKED HIRED 'HITMAN' BELONGING TO DONALD TRUMP. KICK HIM OFF THE SUPREME COURT.
Oh, to be so young and dumb as those GMU students!
Life isn't fair, kids.
Kick the students off campus.
