"Plaintiffs in Title IX lawsuits are entitled to punitive damages in addition to corrective measures when institutions intentionally try to avoid Title IX compliance."
Christine Franklin is a high school student who was sexually harassed by a teacher and sports coach. When her school didn't do anything about it, she brought a suit which was dismissed when the teacher resigned. Her suit was dismissed because she cannot sue for any money damages or other relief since she and the teacher are no longer at the school. However, with Title IX, money damages could have been available.
