Due+Process

Year: 1975

Case: Goss V. Lopez

Nine students in Ohio were suspended for 10 days for bad behavior but did not receive their due process rights. We know that all students are entitled to due process protection and administrators need to be aware of that and make sure that they are provided to students. Ruling: The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the students "saying that once the state provides an education for all of its citizens, it cannot deprive them of it without ensuring due process protections." Impact on education: Due Process is a constitutional right that cannot be denied to students. Students must have the opportunity to be heard and defend themselves. Reference: []
