How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that a private school policy that prohibited students from attending parties with alcohol or drugs could create a “reasonable expectation” for students
• holding that the same “reasonable expectation” standard applies to contracts between a private, college-preparatory school and its students
• holding that the school’s statement that a sexual situation involving five boys and one girl was based on pressure and coercion, was not defamatory because it was based on disclosed nondefamatoiy facts
• holding that there was no denial of basic fairness where a student who had an opportunity to explain his behavior was expelled without giving him access to the evidence against him or an opportunity to question his accuser
• noting that while opinions are “rarely ‘pure’ of facts,” “[o]pinions clearly based on disclosed, nondefamatory facts are not actionable”
• deciding to treat school's student handbook as a contract
