Download or read book When Student on student Sexual Harassment Triggers School District Liability Under written by Joe Salmieri (III) and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits sex discrimination in education, including K-12 institutions and colleges/universities. The United States Supreme Court has held that Title IX holds schools liable for sex discrimination, including sexual harassment and sexual assault. In the landmark case, Davis v. Monroe County Board of Education, the Supreme Court identified the criteria in which a school district can be held liable for student-on-student sexual harassment under Title IX. The Supreme Court's criterion is presented in the form of a three-prong test, and all prongs must be satisfied for liability to exist. The first prong is whether or not the harassment was so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that the victim was denied access to an educational opportunity. The second prong is whether an official who had the authority to stop the harassment had actual notice of the harassment. Finally, the third prong is whether an official who did have both the authority to stop the harassment and actual notice remained deliberately indifferent. The goal of this study was to analyze post-Davis case law to determine how and when a school can be found liable for student-on-student sexual harassment. This analysis can help school administrators and school boards to develop policies and practices to help prevent Title IX liability for student-on-student sexual harassment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wetzel and Brown examine the extent to which student-to-student sexual harassment exists in secondary schools today.

After reviewing the state of sexual harassment in American high schools, the authors provide the best practices for increasing awareness of what behaviors constitute sexual harassment as well as alert readers to the negative impact on both boys and girls, where sexual harassment is most likely to take place, and ways students can become more socially adept. A template for developing a school district policy is presented as are strategies for educating and dissemination.

Download or read book Hostile Hallways written by and published by American Association of University Women Educational Foundat. This book was released on 2001 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates secondary school students' experiences of sexual harassment--and all the bullying, teasing, and touching it entails--and compares the results with those of the 1993 study "Hostile Hallways: The AAUW Survey on Sexual Harassment in America's Schools." Topics in the survey include students' knowledge and awareness of sexual harassment, personal experiences with sexual harassment in their school lives, and the emotional and behavioral impact of these experiences. A nationally representative sample of 2064 public school students in 8th through 11th grades was interviewed. Using self-administered questionnaires, 1559 students were surveyed during an English class, and 505 students were surveyed online. Students' answers were analyzed, where possible, to identify any difference by gender, race/ethnicity, grade level, and area of school. As in 1993, nearly all students say they know what sexual harassment is, and they provided their own definitions when asked. Major findings reveal the following: significant numbers of students are afraid of being hurt or bothered in their school lives; sexual harassment is widespread in school life; school sexual harassment has a negative impact on students' emotional and educational lives; students today are more likely than those in 1993 to say their schools have a policy or distribute literature on sexual harassment; nearly all students surveyed know what sexual harassment is; the most upsetting examples of sexual harassment in school life involve speech as well as actions; a sizeable minority of students reports high levels of sexual harassment in school; most experiences involve students harassing students, although many experiences involve school adults harassing students; and slightly more than half (54%) of students say they have sexually harassed someone during their school lives. Contains 29 figures and an afterword. Appended is the research methodology with additional figures. (BT)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2014, the federal government addressed the issue of student victimization through the expansion of Title IX. Every school district, college, and university receiving federal funding is accountable to reduce and ultimately eliminate sexual harassment and sexual violence in their settings. The requirements are extensive and apply to other forms of discrimination as well, and the consequences for noncompliance for students and schools are significant. Yet at this time, less than 1% of schools nationwide are in compliance, putting their students and their schools at additional risk. Ultimately, Title IX compliance will help both students and schools, and so will this book.

Download or read book Sexual Harassment written by Office for Civil Rights (ED) and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexual harassment of students is illegal. A federal law, "Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972" ("Title IX"), prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, including sexual harassment, in education programs and activities. All public and private education institutions that receive any federal funds must comply with "Title IX." "Title IX" protects students from harassment connected to any of the academic, educational, extracurricular, athletic, and other programs or activities of schools, regardless of the location. "Title IX" protects both male and female students from sexual harassment by any school employee, another student, or a non-employee third party. Preventing and remedying sexual harassment in schools is essential to ensure a nondiscriminatory, safe environment in which students can learn. Unfortunately, students, parents, and school staff may not know what sexual harassment is, how to stop it, and what can be done to prevent it from happening. This pamphlet uses a question-and-answer format to provide students, parents, school administrators, school employees, and others with fundamental information on recognizing and addressing sexual harassment under "Title IX" as it is interpreted by the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR). OCR is the federal agency responsible for enforcing "Title IX" in schools that receive federal funds from the U.S. Department of Education. This pamphlet is comprised of three parts. Part One: Defining Sexual Harassment, contains: (1) What is sexual harassment? (2) What are some examples of sexual conduct? (3) Is all physical contact sexual in nature? (4) What is the sexual contact is criminal in nature" (5) Must the sexual conduct be unwelcome? (7) When does sexual conduct deny or limit a student's ability to participate in or benefit from a school's education program? (7) Can young school children engage in sexual harassment? and (8) Are gay and lesbian students protected from sexual harassment? Part Two: Responding to Sexual Harassment, contains: (9) How should a school respond when it receives information about alleged sexual harassment? (10) What if the victim requests confidentiality or asks that the complaint not be pursued? (11) Does a school have to do anything about sexual harassment if a particular incident is not reported to the school? (12) What actions, if any, should schools take while investigating a complaint? (13) What does a school have to do once the investigation is complete? (14) What are some examples of the steps a school should take to end harassment and prevent it from happening again? and (15) What are some examples of how a school can remedy the effects of sexual harassment? Part Three: Reporting and Preventing Sexual Harassment, contains: (16) Who should report incidents of sexual harassment? (17) To whom should a victim or other individual report the harassment? (18) What if the harasser threatens to retaliate against the victim if he or she reports the incident? (19) What procedures must a school have in place to prevent sexual harassment and resolve complaints? (20) What are grievance procedures? (21) What does the "Title IX" coordinator do? (21) How do I know who my school's "Title IX" coordinator is? (22) What other steps can a school take to prevent sexual harassment? (23) What is the OCR, and how do I report incidents of sexual harassment to that office? and (24) Where can I get more information about a school's responsibilities to address and prevent sexual harassment?
Download or read book The Mockingbirds written by Daisy Whitney and published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2010-11-02 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some schools have honor codes. Others have handbooks. Themis Academy has the Mockingbirds. From the glossy pages of its admissions brochure, the prestigious Themis Academy appears perfect in every way: exceptional academics, extraordinary students, the kind of extracurriculars to make an Ivy League proud, and zero instances of student misbehavior. But this boarding school isn't as pristine as it appears. There's a dark underbelly to the perfect record the Themis administration flaunts. Student infractions are rampant, and it's up to a secret vigilante society, the Mockingbirds, to maintain order on campus--a responsibility their members take very seriously. Alex Patrick never thought she would need the Mockingbirds. But when she's date-raped by another student, she doesn't know where else to go. As much as she'd like to forget what happened, she can't escape the daily reminders of what went wrong that terrible night. Before she can summon the courage to take a stand, she'll have to accept that her battle for justice is not hers alone. Standing up for someone, especially yourself, is worth the fight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fair adjudication of campus sexual assault is one of the most divisive issues facing the United States. Victims contend that schools aren't doing enough to protect them, and accused students complain that they are presumed guilty. Sexual Assault on Campus: Defending Due Process begins by critically assessing the extent of the problem, before explaining why the criminal justice system has been unable to respond adequately. The book discusses the Department of Education's attempts to force schools to take campus assault seriously and uses original data in assessing the fairness of adjudication in the wake of the 2011 'Dear Colleague Letter.' It also includes excerpts from interviews with complainants, accused students, and administrators, which offer readers a first-hand account of these proceedings. Finally, the book provides a critical, in-depth look at the Title IX regulations put in place by the Trump Administration, with detailed recommendations for how they can be improved.
