The Fourth Amendment and dormitory searches - a new truce
Article Abstract:
Policies must be established on college campuses that balance students' privacy rights and the administration's right to inspect dormitory rooms for illegal alcohol or drugs. Between the mid-1980s and 1998, college administrations took a more active role in searching dormitory rooms. Standards for three situations should be set as follows: a warrant and probable cause needed for search by police authorities, warrant and probable cause needed for a police search following an official academic inspection for health and safety that disclosed illegal substances, and probable cause needed for a campus security search for illegal substances.

Why Title IX does not preclude Section 1983 claims
Article Abstract:
Title IX of Education Amendments of 1972 does not preclude either statutory or constitutionally based claims under 42 USC section 1983. Section 1983 stipulates that any person who violates the rights of a US citizen shall be liable for legal action. Title IX precludes sexual discrimination against any person in an educational program or a program receiving federal assistance. Statutory history demonstrates Congress did not intend to preclude any right to private remedies.
