Abstract
dc:description"Shortly after sexual harassment was recognized by the courts as a violation of Title VII's ban on sex discrimination in the workplace, it was also acknowledged as a violation of Title IX, which seeks to eliminate sex discrimination in education. Over time, an increasingly wide range of conduct has been recognized as ""sexual harassment""; the class of persons thought capable of perpetrating and suffering this abuse has expanded as well. Early in the concept's history one could claim intelligibly that sexual harassment occurred when a teacher overtly blocked a student's educational aims, based on the student's sex. Now, sexual harassment is conceived to include verbal and symbolic expression that creates a ""hostile school environment""; and students, as well as teachers, are thought capable of creating such an environment."
