Title IX SB 1375
No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.
State and federal law protects students and staff from all forms of sexual harassment (including sexual violence and sexual abuse). Any student or staff member, regardless of their gender, may potentially face sexual harassment which can interfere with a student’s academic or work performance, as well as their emotional and physical well-being. Preventing and remedying sexual harassment in schools is essential to ensuring a safe environment in which students can learn and staff can work.
Sexual Harassment is now narrowly defined to mean conduct on the basis of sex that satisfies one or more of the following:
-
Any employee of the Recipient conditioning the provision of aid, benefit, or service of the Recipient on an individual's participation in unwelcome sexual conduct.
-
Unwelcome conduct determined by a reasonable person to be so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it denies a person equal access to the Recipient's educational program; or
-
Sexual assault (as defined in the Clery Act (20 U.S.C 1092(f)(6)(A)(v)), or dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking (as defined in the Violence Against Women Act (20 U.S.C 12291(1))
