Sexual Harassment Scenarios For each scenario below, decide whether sexual harassment occurred, whether it
was mild, moderate, or severe, what the "perpetrator" could or should have done
differently, and what the "victim" could do about the problem or potential
problem
1. A female student has asked a male student to stop asking her out on dates and to stop paying
her compliments. He continues to sit next to her (she hasn't moved her seat) and he stares at
her throughout most of each class, but he has stopped talking to her at all.
2. A teacher notices that one of his students has a crush on him. Both are adults, and when they
talk after class she has made it clear that she would like to date him. He tells her that they could
get together to work on her academic standing, which has been slipping recently. During a
tutoring session, his attraction to her gets the better of him and he talks her into having sex with
him, saying it won't hurt her grade. She gets a "C" for the course.
