Sexual Abuse of Students: Actual Notice and Deliberate Indifference; The Supreme Court's Title IX Standard for School District Liability.

DeMitchell, Todd A.

International Journal of Educational Reform, v7 n4 p372-79 Oct 1998

Explores the recent Supreme Court Decision ("Gebser v. Lago Vista Independent School District") on the liability standard Title IX imposes on school districts for the sexual abuse of a student by a teacher. Because the standard of actual knowledge and deliberate indifference by a school official is too high, the student is denied access to legal relief. (15 references) (MLH)
