Students as Victims of Sexual Harassment: The Evolving Law.

McCarthy, Martha M.

Journal of Law and Education, v27 n3 p401-21 Jul 1998

Explores alleged abridgements of students' federal rights regarding sexual harassment by school employees or by classmates. Examines claims based on Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and the Fourteenth Amendment. Despite federal protections, students carry a heavy burden of proof in establishing that their rights have been impaired by public school districts or authorities. (83 footnotes) (MLH)
