The Constitutionality of Random Drug Testing of Student Athletes Makes the Cut...But Will the Athletes?

Journal of Law and Education, v25 n1 p190-98 Win 1996

The Supreme Court, in "Vernonia School District 47J versus Acton," ruled that a school district's policy authorizing random urinalysis drug testing of student-athletes did not violate the Fourth Amendment. Discusses the decision and why such a policy is permissible under the Fourth Amendment's prohibition against unreasonable searches and seizures. (MLF)
