TITLE IX LIABILITY FOR ONLINE PEER- ON-PEER SEXUAL HARASSMENT.
Author: Bunyad Bhatti
Sexual harassment is generally defined as unwelcome advances of sexual nature, “requests for sexual favors”, or any physical or verbal “conduct of a sexual nature”. The conduct can occur during employment, education, or in a living environment, and the refusal or acceptance of such conduct is used as a factor in decisions affecting the individual’s role in these environments. Sexual harassment can either unreasonably impact the individual’s work performance, or it can create an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment.
