It is often treated as another form of bullying (Sadker, 1999). While this is a good policy, too often female students' concerns are ignored because they are too dramatic or do not understand boys (Hand & Sanchez, 2000). This allows the hostile environment to continue, which is a clear violation of Title IX (Stone, 2015). After a study on the issue of sexual harassment in schools (van der Zande, 2008), the America Association of University Women developed a guide to train students and staff on how to prevent and appropriately address sexual harassment. This program addresses the severity of the behavior and empowers students to advocate for themselves and report sexual harassment. It also provides information on training staff on how to recognize sexual harassment among students and how to address student discipline and education. Both of these components are necessary to fully address the problem of sexual harassment
