Can a school be liable for quid pro quo sexual harassment if the following occurs?
I. The athletic director tells a student that in return for staying on the team, that student must submit to sexual advances.
II. A student has a sexual relationship with another member of the team.

Respuesta :

Answer: if it is based on the first statement "Yes" but for the second "No"

Explanation:

The athletic director tells a student that in return for staying in the team, that the team must submit to sexual advances. From the words in this statement, it is a purely sexual harassment as the director has conditioned the student , that he/she must submit to his sexual advances to stay in the team, which obviously from the statement, it can be understood that there must have been some form of rejection from the directors advances. definitely the school will be held liable for quid pro quo if discovered because it is involving a school official in a sexual harassment case.

Concerning the second statement, there can be some sort of mutual understanding between the students. It is refereed to has sexual relationship not sexual harassment Definitely, the school cant be help liable because it is between students not a school official
