Sexual Harrassment
A description of sexual harassment behavior or conduct and three major examples of their intolerable effects in an organizational or educational setting.
There are two main forms of sexual harassments that can occur in schools. These are Hostile environment harassment and Quid pro quo.
Hostile environment harassment: This takes place when annoying sexual conducts occur in persistent, severe, or pervasive degree. Such form of sexual harassment keep the victim away from school activities or make the educational environment intimidating or abusive to her. This hostility can come from a staff of the school, another student, a visitor, or student or school worker from a different school. (Library.findlaw.com, 1997)
Quid Pro Quo Harassment: This occurs when the offensive school employee makes the victim of harassment believe he or she must agree to the offensive sexual behavior before the student can take part in any school activity or program. It also takes place when the offensive employee makes the student believe that any educational decision to be taken about the student will be based on whether he or she welcomes the offensive sexual conduct. For instance, when a teacher threatens to fail a student if he or she refuses to give in to the teacher's sexual advances. This is a good example of quid pro quo harassment.

Remarks about an individual's clothes, body or sexiness
Pinching, patting, touching or cornering in an unacceptable way

Suggesting or asking for sexual favors, which is often accompanied by threats about one's results, promotion, job, or reference letter
Physical sexual abuse
