Chapter IV

FACULTY LIABILITY

I. Overview

INTRODUCTION

Faculty members are agents of their employers—the college

or university. In that capacity, the college is liable or responsible

for their acts that occur during the normal course of business. In

some instances, faculty members personally will be named in a

lawsuit. In almost every case, unless there is some egregious

conduct or some particular statute on which to base liability, they

will not be found personally liable. Of course, if liability is

assessed, the college will have to assume responsibility and

provide compensation. For example, inadequate supervision of

students in laboratories or during athletic activities, or libelous

statements by the student press may result in a college being

liable for money damages.

Personal liability for damages due to negligence may exist for

individuals, such as trustees, officers, faculty, and staff, if they (1)

actually performed the negligent act or failed to take required

I might have found this information in a slide-share document, as some part of a presentation. It does discuss faculty liability in teaching laboratories. If you think you know the source of this document, please contact me directly at rogers**At_Symbol_Here**pennwest.edu . If you know of a similar, more current document, feel free to share that information as well.
