Supreme Court narrows Title IX harassment liability in Davis case
The Supreme Court limits school liability for peer harassment under Title IX, ruling that damages require the school to have substantial control over harassers and context. Aurelia Davis sued Monroe County Board of Education over her daughter LaShonda’s 1992 93 harassment at Hubbard Elementary, claiming reports to officials were ignored. The court’s decision confines liability and notes future suits will raise costs for districts. Justices Kennedy Scalia and Thomas dissented. Davis v Monroe County Board of Education 97 043.
