Answer to Question 1

If the function performed has historically been exclusively public, the likelihood of applying  1983 is high. In West v. Atkins, 487 U.S. 42 (1988), the U.S. Supreme Court held that a physician who worked part-time for a state correctional institution treating inmates was found to be performing a state function. As such, he was a state actor that could be sued under  1983 .

Answer to Question 2

It is difficult to determine the quality of information published on the web, and it may be out of date.
