Abigail Ross v. University of Tulsa

A) Are school personnel that are responsible for both receiving and investigating reports of campus sexual assault for a school’s Title IX proceedings considered “appropriate persons” for the purpose of actual notice under Gebser et al. v. Lago Vista Indep. Sch. Dist., 524 U.S. 274 (1998)? B) Does a interpretation that only those school employees that have complete and final authority to take corrective action constitute “appropriate persons” violate this Court’s reasoning in Gebser? C) Did this Court in Gebser intend to restrict the definition of “appropriate persons” to only those with final disciplinary authority, there by permitting a school to use “gatekeepers” to receive and investigate reports of sexual violence while avoiding putting the school on “actual notice” under Title IX.
