Ante, at 647. for Cert. In most cases of student misbehavior, it is the teacher who has authority, at least in the first instance, to punish the student and take other measures to remedy the harassment. 1998) (case below), and Rowinsky v. Bryan Independent School Dist., 80 F.3d 1006, 1008 (CAS) (holding that private damages action for student-on-student harassment is available under Title IX only where funding recipient responds to these claims differently based on gender of victim), cert. As a result, schools may well be forced to apply workplace norms in the most private of domains. The damage caused by sexual harassment also is arguably greater in the classroom than in the workplace, because the harassment has a greater and longer lasting impact on its young victims, and institutionalizes sexual harassment as accepted behavior. The majority does not explain how we are to determine what degree of control is sufficient-or, more to the point, how the States were on clear notice that the Court would draw the line to encompass students. On May 4, 1994, petitioner filed suit in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia against the Board, Charles Dumas, the school district's superintendent, and Principal Querry.

See 862 F. Supp. DAVIS v. MONROE COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION. With her on the brief were Solicitor General Waxman, Acting Assistant Attorney General Lee, Beth S. Brinkmann, Dennis J. Dimsey, and Linda F. Thome. of Oral Arg. 101a. denied, 506 U.S. 1041, 113 S.Ct. Thus, we conclude that as Title VII encompasses a claim for damages due to a sexually hostile working environment created by co-workers and tolerated by the employer, Title IX encompasses a claim for damages due to a sexually hostile educational environment created by a fellow student or students when the supervising authorities knowingly fail to act to eliminate the harassment.5  Cf. The majority recognizes, however, that there must be some limitation on the third-party conduct that the school can fairly be said to cause. 3221, 3232-33, 77 L.Ed.2d 866 (1983), we similarly should find that monetary damages are limited to intentional violations of Title IX.1  Therefore, even if I were to accept the majority's argument that Title IX applies to the conduct at issue in this case, I would limit the remedy available to the plaintiff to injunctive relief.

The court dismissed the complaint because, in its view, “any harm to LaShonda was not proximately caused by a federally-funded educational provider” and neither the Board nor an employee of the Board “had any role in the harassment.”   Aurelia D., 862 F.Supp. According to the complaint, however, a teacher denied the students' request with the statement, "'If [Querry] wants you, he'll call you.'" To accomplish this goal, employees and students of federally funded educational institutions who are discriminated against on the basis of sex have a private right of action under Title IX for injunctive relief and compensatory damages.

Davis v. Monroe County Board of Education, case in which the U.S. Supreme Court on May 24, 1999, ruled (5–4) that, under Title IX of the Federal Education Amendments (1972), school boards are liable for failing to stop student-on-student sexual harassment under certain circumstances. Having determined that Title IX encompasses a claim for a hostile learning environment created by peer sexual harassment, we must consider the sufficiency of Davis' allegations. Ante, at 644. at 1573. In April, G.F. rubbed against LaShonda in the hallway in a sexually suggestive manner. LaShonda was a fifth-grade student at Hubbard Elementary School. It is a far different question, however, whether it is either proper or useful to label this immature, childish behavior gender discrimination.

See, e. g., 34 CFR §§ 106.31(b)(6), 106.31(d), 106.37(a)(2), 106.38(a), 106.51(a)(3) (1998). tablish an understanding of appropriate behavior. In February, G.F. placed a doorstop in his pants and behaved in a sexually suggestive manner toward LaShonda. The Court must always use great care when it shapes private causes of action without clear guidance from Congress, but never more so than when the federal balance is at stake. A reasonableness standard, regardless of the modifier, transforms every disciplinary decision into a jury question. CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT No. The requests for protection went unfulfilled, and no disciplinary action was taken. Remindful that as legislation enacted pursuant to Congress' authority under the Constitution's Spending Clause that Title IX must provide the putative recipients, the schools accepting the money, with notice of the scope of their potential liability should they choose to accept federal funds. As discussed in the foregoing cases, such application is supported by Franklin, Title IX's legislative history and the Supreme Court's mandate that we read Title IX broadly, as well as by findings of the OCR.

We now reverse. The en banc court relied, primarily, on the theory that Title IX was passed pursuant to Congress' legislative authority under the Constitution's Spending Clause, U. S. Gebser v. Lago Vista Independent School Dist., supra, at 289 ("It would be unsound, we think, for a statute's express system of enforcement to require notice to the recipient and an opportunity to come into voluntary compliance while a judicially implied system of enforcement permits substantial liability without regard to the recipient's knowledge or its corrective actions upon receiving notice"). VIII, § 1; Md.

Contrary to the majority's assertion, however, respondents have made a cogent and persuasive argument that the type of student conduct alleged by petitioner should not be considered "sexual harassment," much less gender discrimination actionable under Title IX: "[A]t the time Petitioner filed her complaint, no court, including this Court had recognized the concept of sexual harassment in any context other than the employment context. No. ; see also id., at 24-25. Read our student testimonials. She alleged that University hospital supervisory personnel had subjected her to an atmosphere of sexual harassment at the hospital. Where the heightened requirements for attribution are met, the teacher's actions are treated as the grant recipient's actions.

The remedial scheme the majority creates today is neither sensible nor faithful to Spending Clause principles.
(a) An implied private right of action for money damages exists under Title IX, Franklin v. Gwinnett County Public Schools, 503 U. S. 60, where funding recipients had adequate notice that they could be liable for the conduct at issue, Pennhurst State School and Hospital v. Halderman, 451 U. S. 1, 17, but a recipient is liable only for its own misconduct.

at 886-92. Rather, we sought in Gebser to identify those employee actions which could fairly be attributed to the grant recipient by superimposing additional Spending Clause notice requirements on traditional agency principles. 373, as amended, 20 U. S. C. § 1681 et seq. The private cause of action the Court creates will justify a corps of federal administrators in writing regulations on student harassment. The agency relation between the school and the teacher is thus a necessary, but not sufficient, condition of school liability. Rather, it is a concrete safeguard in the federal system. The fact that it was a teacher who engaged in harassment in Franklin and Gebser is relevant. IX, § l(a); Neb. What the Supreme Court did not decide in Franklin, however, was whether monetary damages are available in cases involving unintentional violations of Title IX. Education Amendments of 1972, 20 U.S.C. 47 Bergen St--Floor 3, Brooklyn, NY 11201, USA, Service
at 1038, increasing the number of Title IX suits brought by employees and students alleging that their educational institutions subjected them to sexual discrimination. Speaking with the voice of experience, the school amici remind us, "[h]istory shows that, no matter what a school official chooses to do, someone will be unhappy. The question before the Court was “whether a district’s failure to respond to student-on-student harassment in its schools can support a private suit for money damages” (p. 639). 98-843, Davis vresus The Monroe County Board of Education will be announced by Justice O'Connor. To state the majority's test is to understand that it is little more than an exercise in arbitrary line-drawing. 1946, 60 L.Ed.2d 560 (1979)). Moreover, because the harassment must occur "under" "the operations of" a funding recipient, see 20 U. S. C. § 1681(a); § 1687 (defining "program or activity"), the harassment must take place in a context subject to the school district's control, Webster's Third New International Dictionary, supra, at 2487 (defining "under" as "in or into a condition of subjection, regulation, or subordination"; "subject to the guidance and instruction of"); Random House Dictionary, supra, at 1543 (defining "under" as "subject to the authority, direction, or supervision of"). Similarly, in recognizing that Title IX prohibits the existence of a hostile environment due to a teacher's sexual harassment of a student, another court observed that “[t]hough the sexual harassment ‘doctrine’ has generally developed in the context of Title VII, these [Title VII] guidelines seem equally applicable to Title IX.”  Moire v. Temple Univ. Finally, the OCR has found that “[i]f the harassment is carried out by non-agent students, the institution may nevertheless be found in noncompliance with Title IX if it failed to respond adequately to actual or constructive notice of the harassment.”  Id. Nor was LaShonda G. F.'s only victim; it is alleged that other girls in the class fell prey to G. F.'s conduct. I can conceive of few interventions more intrusive upon the delicate and vital relations between teacher and student, between student and student, and between the State and its citizens than the one the Court creates today by its own hand.
