The document discusses sexual harassment in education workplaces. It provides background on relevant legislation including Title VII, Title IX, and the 14th Amendment. It defines sexual harassment as unwelcome sexual conduct that creates a hostile environment. There are two types of harassment: quid pro quo, where favors are demanded in exchange for benefits, and hostile environment, involving severe or pervasive unwelcome conduct. The school district can be liable if it is deliberately indifferent to known harassment. Individual officials may also face liability for failing to address harassment brought to their attention. Employees and officials have a responsibility to protect students and staff from known harassment.
