A Lawsuit Raises Difficult Questions About Liability in Student-Abroad Programs.
Guernsey, Lisa
Chronicle of Higher Education, v43 n31 pA37-A38 Apr 11 1997
An Earlham College (Indiana) student's lawsuit charging the college with responsibility for her rape during a Japanese study-abroad program tests the legality of the waiver students sign before leaving. The student claims the waiver is not the issue, but the need for colleges to protect students facing sexual harassment. She says the college responded inadequately to her complaints. (MSE)
