Embattled Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh will not return to teach at Harvard Law School in January, according to an email administrators sent to Law students Monday evening.

"Today, Judge Kavanaugh indicated that he can no longer commit to teaching his course in January Term 2019, so the course will not be offered," Associate Dean and Dean for Academic and Faculty Affairs Catherine Claypoole wrote in the email, which she sent on behalf of the Law School's Curriculum Committee.

Kavanaugh and Harvard Law spokespeople could not immediately be reached for comment.

The news comes after several women have alleged that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted them decades ago. The allegations roiled Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court and spurred students on the Law School's campus to call for Harvard to bar him from teaching pending a "full and fair investigation" of his alleged sexual misconduct.

The Law School dean and spokespeople have repeatedly refused to comment on Kavanaugh's employment status over the past week, citing a need to keep "personnel matters" confidential.
