ABSTRACT
Sexual harassment is a serious concern for educational administrators. Recent media attention on the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas hearings1 along with the well-publicized American Association of University Women’s (AAUW) report (1993), Hostile Hallways, on the wide-spread existence of sexual harassment in public schools has caused many school districts to begin developing a sexual harassment policy. Eighty-five per cent of all female students report being harassed in school-most frequently in the halls and in the classroom. Because of the harassment, nearly 40 per cent of adolescent girls do not want to go to school and do not want to speak out in class (AAUW, 1993:7, 15).
