NEW HAVEN, CT – SEPTEMBER 19: A man walks up the steps of Yale Law School in New Haven, CT on Sep. 19, 2018. With the country riveted by Judge Brett Kavanaughs tumultuous Supreme Court nomination process, nowhere have the sexual assault allegations against him seemed more tangible than at his alma mater, Yale University. Kavanaugh, who holds both undergraduate and law degrees from the elite university, is accused by a female classmate of sexual misconduct when the two were freshman in 1983. He has flatly denied the accusation, but the school has been buffeted by anti-Kavanaugh sentiment in recent days. On Monday, law students and professors made their dissatisfaction clear with a sit-in, wearing black and filling the halls in protest of his nomination. Others traveled to Washington to protest on Capitol Hill. (Photo by Jessica Rinaldi/The Boston Globe via Getty Images)
