Text: Members of the Board of Regents were entitled to summary judgment. As the district court recognized, “government officials may not be held liable for the unconstitutional conduct of their subordinates under a theory of respondeat superior.” Pahls v. Thomas, 718 F.3d 1210, 1225 (10th Cir. 2013) (brackets and internal quotation marks omitted). Mr. Brown testified that his claim against the regents was based purely on their oversight function. Appellees’ App., vol. I at 172. Based on this testimony, Mr. Brown conceded that he had no evidence that the regents knew about his application or expulsion. Id. at 175-76. Under these circumstances, the members of the Board of Regents were entitled to summary judgment.
