Okay.... so working on the paper and whole darn thing is about how some guy wants to sue a university president under a tort that doesn't apply to her cause she is a statutory official and not a public official and its all bout whether or not for the purpose of this lawsuit she should be considered a public official. My question is this... why don't they just make a new tort? One all about abuses of statutory power by statutory officials. Cause I'm sure it happens alot. And if there isn't one and a person has to go through all this to get some justice its just not fair. I'm pretty sure there are alot of other people in positions of administrative power who abuse their power and who aren't "public officials". Its not a solution to this case (especially since its already been resolved and decided upon) but just for future cases... so people don't have to go through all this hullabaloo again to get someone to decide that someone can be sued under this. And because I don't know anything about torts or the making/amending of them, I'm sure there is some big thing in the way of this every happening, or maybe there already is one, or maybe it'd just get too complicated cause a ridiculous amount of people would be claiming abuse of power in silly situations... but you could put some limits on it right...?
Anyways.. those are my thoughts.. now back to my paper...
