The investigation is focused on Rubenfeld's conduct, particularly with female law students. Students have also raised related concerns to Yale authorities about Chua's powerful influence in the clerkships process. The investigation was initiated before Kavanaugh was nominated by Donald Trump to serve on the high court. Rubenfeld said in a statement to the Guardian: "In June, Yale University informed me that it would conduct what it terms an 'informal review' of certain allegations, but that to preserve anonymity, I was not entitled to know any specifics. As a result, I do not know what I am alleged to have said or done. I was further advised that the allegations were not of the kind that would jeopardize my position as a long-tenured member of the faculty. please note The information contained in this communication is confidential, may be attorney-client privileged, may constitute inside information, and is intended only for the use of the addressee.
