What is Sexual Harassment?

Title IX defines sexual harassment as conduct on the basis of sex or gender that satisfies one or more of the following:

 

- A school employee conditioning the provision of any Compass aid, benefit, or service on an individual’s participation in unwelcome sexual conduct;

 

- Unwelcome conduct – by either staff or student - determined by a reasonable person to be so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it effectively denies a person equal access to any Compass education program or activity; or

 

- Sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking (see the Definition section for an explanation of these terms)
