Virginia Tech is going to have a rough time defending itself once the lawsuits start flying.
Danged skippy they are...between this, the stalkings and the fire in the dorm room, there was NO excuse not to have kicked this kid out. The explanation from the VT officials that there was nothing they could do because he had not committed a crime yet is FALSE. Although, as I stated in another post, kicking him out could have triggered this same reaction as well, but at least the VT officials would have at least made an attempt to protect the students. Instead they did nothing but cater to this coward.
Agreed. I found this snippet from an article on MSNBC discussing a faculty member's interaction with the student:
"Roy said she warned school officials. "I was determined that people were going to take notice," Roy said. "I felt I'd said to so many people, 'Please, will you look at this young man?'"
VaTech is going to get sued like there was no tomorrow. Take it to the bank...
Would some lawyers weigh in here? I figured Tech was off the hook because of sovereign immunity.
Yes? No?
what basis for lawsuits?
