Sexual Harassment on Campus

Sexual harassment is illegal, it is harmful to the victim and it can lead to harsh consequences for offenders.

The workplace and educational settings differ from the broader community, because at work and school some people have authority over others, and this authority relationship can lead to coercion. People at work and school are not as free to come and go as they are elsewhere, and since they have to work/study where they are assigned, they are entitled to an environment free of sexual harassment.
