The workshop intends to educate students and faculty on what sexual harassment is and how it can be prevented in the student body by elucidating on its various components in order to spur discussions about the roles schools play and should play in its prevention. These areas include disciplinary action against sexual misconduct, expanding schools’ application of sexual harassment laws such as Title IX and BP 5131.2, active counseling for teachers on how to handle sexual harassment reports, resources available for students and staff regarding sexual harassment, and steps taken to actively work against rape culture. In addition to in the in class workshop a petition for support in changing the current sexual harassment policies in California has been created and will be used for future action on the subject.
