Sexual Harassment in Public Schools

Meer over het boek

Examining two legal cases of sexual harassment in New York public school districts, this study highlights employee perceptions and organizational dynamics related to policy enforcement. Interviews with thirty-one employees reveal claims of retaliation by district authorities, either in response to harassment complaints or as a preemptive tactic against certain employees. The findings emphasize how personal and organizational consequences shape employees' interpretations of leadership responses and stress the need for a distinct separation between investigative and executive powers to prevent retaliation.
