Strategies for dealing effectively with sexual harassment in the educational organization are presented in this document. Identification of the problem is complex, compounded by the context in which it occurs and different male and female perceptions. One starting point for identification is the 1980 federal guidelines passed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Possible effects on an individual experiencing harassment are also described. Implications of some recent legal decisions for schools include the right of victims to sue school districts and colleges and the need to seek policy input from women. Guidelines for adopting a good policy are offered. Steps to prevent sexual harassment, other than through written policies, include developing an organizational climate free from gender inequalities and providing training and education.
