Description
We hold that UMDNJ is a "person" within the meaning of section 1983 and, therefore, may be liable for Civil Rights violations under that statute. We hold further that sexual harassment does not constitute an "injury" within the meaning of the Act. Consistent with that conclusion, the notice provisions of the Act, N.J.S.A. 59:8-8, 9, do not apply either to injuries arising from violations of the Law or to a violation of federal rights protected by section 1983. Consequently, Fuchilla may maintain her causes of action under section 1983 and under the Law.
