Student sexual harassment can come from teachers, school staff or even other students. This is strictly prohibited in Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as well as the Civil Rights Act of 1963. Sexual harassment of students should be reported to the dean immediately, as well as the local authorities. Students and parents should document and keep any proof of the incident for future use, and they should consider contacting a sexual harassment attorney. A sexual harassment attorney can help the victim understand exactly what behaviors are illegal and why, what options one has for seeking justice, and how to approach the situation. Many sexual harassment attorneys work on a contingency basis.
