(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.
