Description
Opinion OF THE COURT ROSENN, Circuit Judge. Appellant Ruth Ann Bougher, a student at the University of Pittsburgh, raises issues on this appeal pertaining to the application of ""hostile environment"" sexual harassment principles developed under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C.A. ç 2000e, et seq. (West 1981), to alleged sexual discrimination in violation of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, 20 U.S.C.A. ç 1681 (West 1978). Her four-count complaint also alleges sexual harassment by one of her professors at the University in violation of the Reconstruction Era Civil Rights Acts, 42 U.S.C.A. çç 1983 and 1985(3) (West 1981), and a state claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress. The district court rejected her claims, granting summary judgment for the University and the individual defendants,1 and dismissing the complaint. Appellant appealed to this court pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. ç 1291 (West Supp. 1989). We affirm, although not entirely on the same grounds relied on by the district court.
