California Court of Appeal

In a suit alleging negligence in planning and supervising a class assignment, the trial court correctly ruled defendants had no liability pursuant to Education Code section 87706, which limits liability when students are not on school property. Generally, a college may require students to complete an off-campus assignment, without specifying how students are to transport themselves, and without assuming a duty of care with respect to the mode of transportation.
