(Former) College Pres. Liable for $50,000 for violating student's rights

Too often college adminsitrators are given qualified immunity and can avoid personal money damage liability.  Even though a student's rights were violated, the official gets off. There is little deterrent effect from the threat of  civil suits and thus little respect among many college administrators.  This case was a very refreshing change.  Hopefully this case will draw the attention of some of those who need to be paying attention.
