Scenario: "Even Steven" [Answer]

Answer:True

As Department Chair, Samantha's knowledge of Steven's conduct would probably be attributed to the College. Based on Samantha's knowledge, the College would be deemed to have known, and therefore could be held responsible for not adequately addressing the situation.

It is also possible that a court might consider Steven the equivalent of Brittany's supervisor, given the position of control and influence a faculty member exercises over students. If so, the College could be held responsible for Steven's conduct even if Brittany had never reported the incident to the Chair.
