From Kavanaugh's alma mater:
Open Letter to Senate Judiciary Committee from Yale Law Faculty
In an open letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, 50 faculty members of Yale Law School asked the members to give the FBI time to investigate a sexual assault allegation made against Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh. The letter urged the Senate to conduct a “fair and deliberate confirmation process.” Faculty members expressed their concern that a rushed hearing would threaten the integrity of the confirmation process and the public’s faith in the Supreme Court. Given that a position on the Supreme Court is a lifetime appointment, the faculty members argued that a “partisan hearing alone cannot be the forum to determine the truth” of the allegation against Kavanaugh. Instead of relying on a committee hearing, faculty members urged the FBI to be given the time necessary to investigate the facts.

“Fair process requires evidence from all parties with direct knowledge and consultation of experts when evaluating such evidence,” the letter stated. “In subsequent hearings, all of those who testify, and particularly women testifying about sexual assault, must be treated with respect.”
