Goss v. Lopez
Just in case you forgot...
How did it change the way the Constitution is interpreted today?
This case changed the way the Constitution is interpreted by school policies with the Due Process Clause . It maintains order and gives constitutional rights to the students before they are suspended.
Lower Court Decisions
The lower court decision was that the students should have recieved a hearing before they were expelled, and it went against the Due Process Clause.
My opinon on the case and the supreme court decision is.......
Final Decision
The students need to be punished for their actions; but not having a hearing is wrong because it does not allow students to explain their actions. I agree with punishing the students; however, it would be unconstitutional to suspend the students before hearing the full story to understand the entire situation.
Descritptions
The final decision was that the students were entiltled to a hearing from their public education system as a property interest. This is protected by the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment, which cannot be taken away for misconduct without a minimum procedure required by the clause.
This case involved nine students from two different high schools in Ohio were expelled due to disrupting the learning environment and vandlizing school property. The students did not have a hearing until 10 days later after there suspenstion. The students stated that it was against their 14th amendment rights.
The case started on Oct. 16,1974
and was the final decision was on Jan. 22,1975
