Professors at Yale Law School cancelled a total of 31 classes on Monday to allow students to protest Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation after sexual assault allegations were made against him.

The Washington Free Beacon reports the professors at Kavanaugh's alma mater said they were cancelling classes to support students who wanted to stage sit-ins or “go to D.C. to protest or otherwise engage with the Kavanaugh hearings.”

Yale Law spokeswoman Debra Krozer said not all classes were cancelled, but many chose to “reschedule or cancel their own classes today. And some held classes as usual."

Forty-nine Yale Law faculty members also signed an open letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee calling for Kavanaugh's confirmation to be delayed pending a full investigation.
