Reversed
an 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision and held that a school
board can be liable under Title IX in cases of student-on-student
sexual harassment when the recipient of federal funds acts with
deliberate indifference to known acts of harassment in its programs
or activites. The plaintiff must also show that the harrassment
is so 'sever, pervasive, and objectively offensive' that the victims
are effectively denied equal access to an institution's resources
and opportunities.
