Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

["Foubert, John" <>]

SAPC Folks,

With all this talk about mandatory education laws in California and other 
states that we've had today on our list serve, and with the clarification 
that Dan Carter helped us out with that the Cleary act has mandated awareness 
on every campus in some form for years, I just would like to wonder out loud 
for a minute.  Is it just me, or does it sound like there might be the 
makings of a class action lawsuit here?  I'm no attorney, but it would seem 
to me that if institutions are required to be doing some form of education 
and are not doing so at all, that particularly effected individuals 
(survivors in particular) just might have a case against a university or a 
university system for failure to educate a campus population in violation of 
the law.  One would think there might be an enterprising attorney or firm out 
there that might be interested in looking into this.

John
