read case and give thoughtful response

Part 1:

Jennings Case Discussion

Read the opinion (SEE LINK BELOW) from the United States Court of Appeals 4th Circuit in the case of Jennings, et al. v. University of North Carolina, et al. (2007). The plaintiffs bring this case under federal law (which is what we have here in Chapter 6), under Title IX (which we’ll get to in Chapter 8), and common law. They all really end up at the same place, so don’t get caught up in the federal statutes.

This is an interesting case because it shows the complex nature of a sexual harassment claim. This case has:

1) a majority opinion (this is the actual decision in the case) Pages 1-21. This is the part you actually need to read, but don’t get bogged down in legal wording regarding procedural issues that you don’t understand. Just look for the good discussion of the sexual harassment claim. I encourage you to read the concurring and dissenting opinions if you are finding this interesting.

2) a concurring opinion (this is written by justices who believe that the case was decided correctly, but had different reasons for coming to their conclusion), and

3) a dissenting opinion (this is written by justices who believe that the majority of judges came to the wrong conclusion and this opinion states why they hold this belief.)

Notice the number of defendants in this case – it isn’t just the University of North Carolina and the coach. There are others being sued based on a theory of respondeat superior liability.

ASSIGNMENT: Post your thoughts to your after reading this case. Was it decided correctly? Why or why not? Did anything surprise you? Would the decision be the same if it was brought to court today? How would you have handled the case if you were the lawyer? You can take this lots of different directions … I’m really looking for your reaction after reading this case. (At least 400 words)
