United States Seventh Circuit

Where the alleged malefactor is a teacher or other nonmanagerial employee whose malefaction is not a policy or practice for which the school could be held liable under Title IX, the sea-clammers doctrine does not serve to extinguish plaintiff's right to sue that individual under section 1983.
