As the second Senate hearing for the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett continued on Tuesday, Barrett’s alma mater is divided over whether she should fill the Supreme Court vacancy before the presidential election.

In a letter published on Tuesday, 88 faculty members at the University of Notre Dame called on Barrett, an alumna and current professor, to halt the confirmation process until after the November election.
