Barrett v. Claycomb
What's at Stake
A federal district court has ruled that a public college in Missouri must end its unconstitutional program of requiring all of its students鈥攊rrespective of their course of study鈥攖o submit to suspicionless drug-testing.
Summary
The lawsuit, which was filed by the 老澳门开奖结果 and the 老澳门开奖结果 of Eastern Missouri in September 2011, challenged a policy at Linn State required every incoming student to be tested for drugs, even though many of them would not be engaged in dangerous activities, and the college had no reason to believe any particular student was using drugs. Any student who refused to submit to the drug test鈥攚hich is considered a search under the Fourth Amendment鈥攚ould be denied the opportunity to pursue their education at Linn State.
