Office for Civil Rights Sexual Harassment Guidance: Harassment of Students by School Employees

Короткий зміст

The Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights issues a draft document entitled ``Sexual Harassment Guidance: Harassment of Students by School Employees'' (Guidance). The Guidance provides educational institutions with information regarding the standards used by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) to investigate and resolve cases involving claims that sexual harassment of students by employees has created a hostile environment in violation of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Title IX prohibits gender discrimination in education programs that receive Federal financial assistance. The Assistant Secretary solicits from all interested parties written comments on the clarity and completeness of the Guidance, which is appended to this notice as Appendix One.
