Time’s Up: Schools Need to Teach Students About Sexual Harassment
Abstract
This Note examines the current Title IX liability standards for
student-on-student sexual harassment and argues that those
standards need to be supplemented by mandatory education about
sexual harassment, both for educators and for students. Part I
provides an overview of the current Title IX liability standards and
their limitations for student-on-student sexual harassment. Part II
argues that the presumptions underlying the standards are barriers in the way of reducing the problem. Part III recommends educating
students and school employees about sexual harassment—what it
is, what its consequences are, what the school’s policy is, and what
resources are available to victims.
