From: HALL, NATHANIEL D. [mailto:halln () OTC EDU] As usual, I am not a lawyer, but here are my views.When one of our students does something stupid off campuslike theft Idon't recall anyone coming after the university because they were "acting as a student of our school".When somebody commits theft, they aren't acting as a student. When someone posts to a bulletin board for class, they are.
And if a student committed a theft *as part of a course activity*, I believe the school would indeed face some legal exposure..... Actually, though, my concern is that student activity on free public services may not be auditable in the case of a grade challenge (on either side). David Gillett
