Reported and Unreported Teacher-Student Sexual Harassment

Abstract

This descriptive study reports the extent of sexual harassment between North Carolina high school students and teachers and suggests procedures for recognizing and ending those improper relationships. Although the majority of research about sexual harassment in an academic setting has been performed on college campuses, the problem has been experienced in secondary education. To assess the current environment, I surveyed 140 North Carolina school superintendents and 300 high school seniors. The data revealed a discrepancy between the number of faculty that the superintendents reported as having been disciplined for sexual harassment of a student and the number of students who believed that they had experienced sexual harassment. A structure for establishing guidelines to prevent teacher-student sexual harassment is presented.
