Harvard president Lawrence S. Bacow said Tuesday that Judge Brett Kavanaugh voluntarily opted to cancel his course at Harvard Law in January, amid sexual assault allegations leveled at the jurist that have imperiled his Supreme Court nomination, according to the student newspaper.

Bacow’s comments came during a meeting of Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the Harvard Crimson reported.

“My understanding is that Kavanaugh decided not to teach this next January and that decision is year-to-year,” Bacow said, according to the Crimson. “I don’t know more of how that decision was made.”

Bacow’s comments came after Catherine Claypoole, the law school’s associate dean and dean for academic and faculty affairs, had announced in an e-mail to students that Kavanaugh would not teach his three-week course entitled “The Supreme Court Since 2005.”

1. I believe this

Kav is clearing his schedule so he can be on the SC. I wish he'd been fired, but I'm afraid that's not the case.

2. I assume this was the case, thought it was silly that people thought he'd been quietly fired. nt
