[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately, I don’t think the school’s failure to act was the proximate cause of the murders. If a student or employee at Washington State sued after the school received complaints and failed to act on them, that would seem viable. Students at a different university…I don’t think so. Washington State doesn’t have a duty to students and employees at University of Idaho. University of Idaho might settle anyway. [/quote]

U of I isn’t involved in this lawsuit…[/quote]
The murdered students attended Idaho. PP didn’t say U of I was involved in the lawsuit, they said WSU doesn’t have a duty to students at U of I.

I think whether any employer could have a liability in a murder case would depend on what kind of complaints/reports they had and ignored or failed to act appropriately on regarding their employee, and whether any of those complaints or reports might have resulted in his arrest before the murders took place. Otherwise, at worst the employer should maybe have fired him, but that would not have prevented him from stalking and murdering someone. I also fail to see how WSU is culpable here, but I’m not a lawyer, nor particularly familiar with the case. [/quote]

I’m just confused because you said “U of I might settle anyway” so I was saying, what are they settling if they aren’t involved in the lawsuit? Unless you mean WSU might settle?[/quote]
