Goss v Lopez (1975)

A Case in Education Law

By Melvin Olivares and Tomas Castano

Our Opinions

  • Our opinion in the case, is that the principal could've made a better decision, because not being to able to go to school for 10 days, can affect the students a lot.
  • Suspension of students can seriously harm their reputation and affect their future employment and education.
  • We also understand, that the students might have crossed the line, but a ten day suspension was not necessary.
  • We also think that the principal violated the 14th amendment, right to due proccess.
