Gonzaga University V. Doe Case Study
Sure taking away a schools right to receive financial aid is a great deterrent, but that doesn’t help the student that has been harmed by the release of their information. The best way to explain the reason why a student can’t sue is to explain the case of “Gonzaga University v. Doe, 536 U.S” June 20, 2002. The United States Supreme Court stated in this case that the university can be put in a position of not reporting a non-moral situation, possibly allowing crimes to be unreported if they feel they may be sued over the reporting of a sex crime. The courts stated that the FERPA law does not create students’ rights that are enforceable. The courts state that the FERPA law only speaks to the Secretary of Education, and only covers university

    Ethical Leadership/the Twenty Dollar Bill

    In the case study “The Twenty Dollar Bill”, the students’ expectation of privacy outweighs the obligation of the school leaders to maintain good order and discipline in that there is no clear and reasonable threat to student safety or order. The students’ constitutional rights should not be jeopardized over twenty dollars. Furthermore, a bathroom search of any students must be reasonable related to the objectives of the search and must not be excessively intrusive. Since there was only twenty-dollars involved this case, a bathroom search would be highly unconstitutional considering the age of the students and amount of money involved. This is evidenced by a similar case Safford vs. Redding 2008.…

    Chrysler Vs Lake Mary High School Case Study

    It started with a call mid-November 2009, when a Chrysler representor called the principal of a Florida high school called Lake Mary High School to inform them about the issue with the logo they were using. Chrysler was saying that the school had copied the trademark of its Ram vehicle and had used it as its high school logo. They ordered for the removal of it by June of 2010 before bigger consequences. To help with this, Chrysler had stated that they will pay for the creation of a new logo for the Lake Mary Ram’s. Although they helped with that the school still had to pay for the removal of the logo from everywhere costing them tons of money with it being $15,000 just for the removal of the gym floor.…

    The Hunting Ground: Sexual Assault On College Campuses

    The Hunting ground was a great documentary on sexual assaults that go on on college campuses. The Hunting Ground shows us various students who where sexually assaulted at their local college campuses. After watching the movie, I gain a lot of knowledge on what really goes on behind some college campuses and how some college administrators use their authority to keep sexual assaults from the public eye . The Hunting Ground provides us with multiple students who allege that they were sexually assaulted at their local college campuses, and that the college deans ignored them or required them to provide evidence. The film provides us with evidence that many college officials in charge were more concerned with…

    Franklin V Gwinnett

    On December 11th, 1990, Christine Franklin filed a lawsuit against the Gwinnett County Public School system. During her sophomore year in high school at Gwinnett High School, she was continually harassed sexually by her economics teacher Andrew Hill. Mr. Hill would kiss her, feel on her, and constantly try to engage in inappropriate sexual conversations with Franklin. Franklin first went to staff at the school. Nothing was done. Franklin told the administration on the Board of Education and they begged for no charges to be pressed on the school because they didn’t want a bad reputation or for the incident to publicize. Instead, Mr. Hill offered to resign from teaching if no charges were pressed, so the school looked past the whole thing.…

    Noncompliance Case Study

    In order for an institution to be in violation of Title IX, the school must have authority over the harasser and over the environment in which the harassment took or takes place, its response to harassment is “clearly unreasonable in light of known circumstances,” (Marshal 2014) failing to respond to hostile educational environment, and if the victim can show that the school purposely ignored reported acts of violence and harassment occurring in school programs and activities (Edwards 2015). Noncompliance puts the school at risk of losing federal funding. In the case of before the fact indifference, a school had previous knowledge of an admitted student being a possible threat to other students and does not take the proper steps to ensure other…

As per a news article posted on July 23rd, 2012, by the National Council of Women’s Organization (http://www.womensorganizations.org/?p=232&option=com_wordpress&Itemid=114), Penn State is in jeopardy of losing its financial aid if found guilty of violating the clery Act by covering up the allegations of sexual harassment. Penn State has already been hit with fines in access of $60 million. If the Department of Education revokes financial aid from Penn State, who knows what’s on the horizon for the…

    Social Media Monitoring

    Social Media Monitoring

    After schools on the west coast started monitoring students' social media posts and comments; many opinions have come up. Many students feel that their privacy has been invaded and that their rights to freedom of speech have been taken away. For starters students didn’t even find out through the school that their social statues were going to be monitored by a third party company. Rumors came up around school that the school might be watching over them, but it wasn’t confirmed by administration. I believe if a school feels the need to monitor the students they should at least inform the students or even make them sign an agreement to let them snoop through the online media sites. A school district in California paid Geo Listening $40,500 to patrol their students’ sites and monitor for signs of bullying or self-harm. Which is absolutely ridiculous, that a school spent that much money on something they can’t even prove its helped in any form. The quote from the superintendent that “We think it’s been working very well,” just proves that they can’t back up the ridiculous sum of money they paid to monitor against bullying and self-harming. If students were to all change their privacy policy to strict, the school would be wasting over 40 thousand dollars, because the company is only allowed to search public accounts. If no student has been disciplined following a social media post then that just once again proves that students aren’t using social media sites to harass or intimidate others and that school districts stress too quickly and make impulsive decisions that cost the district money and take away from students learning. And if disciplining students for what they say on media sites outside of school imposes on their freedom of speech rights then how does Geo Listening plan to go about dealing with a potential bullying or self-harm threat. The idea to protect against these threats is good, but I feel there are better ways to go about it…

    Case Analysis: MBA at Strutledge

    As stated earlier, this school does not have adequate staffing for the new potential program. If it can employ local teachers, it would easily be able to support the new program without any additional relocation costs, as well as establishing a connection between the university and the local community. The school could also make financial sacrifices for the short run that might benefit in the long run. By offering things like a tuition rate lock or exploring other avenues it might be able to save the students money while still increasing their revenue.…
