Why is sexual harassment in college so damaging?

Sexual harassment on a college campus, particularly if the student is the victim of the harassment, can be so damaging because college is oftentimes the beginning of someone's career, and more importantly in a sense the beginning of one's adult life. If your college career is destroyed by a professor who's out of control, and pursuing you sexually, and you don't make the grades that you should have gotten, or you don't get the special honors degree that you should have gotten, your whole life can change. My name is Walker Harman. I'm the managing attorney of the Harman Firm. If you believe you've been the victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak with you.

Who's the #1 sexual harassment victim in college?

In my experience, the most common victim of sexual harassment on a college campus is a student. And the harasser is oftentimes the person in power whether it be a professor, or administrator, or researcher. And the scenario arises when the person in power, the professor, is spending great deals of time alone with the student. Say there’s a mentoring program or you’re doing an independent study. So with a great deal of time alone creates a situation where the person in power can take advantage of the powerless person, the student. I find that that’s a very common scenario on a college campus. My name is Walker Harman. I am the managing attorney of the Harman Firm.

How is sexual harassment in college defined?

There is a specific statute that prevents sexual harassment on a college campus that receives federal funds. It's a federal statute. It applies in the state of New York as well. And if your particular college or university receives federal funds (the vast majority of them do,) your particular college or university will fall under the statute and it prevents any type of sexual harassment on a college campus and if the college doesn't take immediate action to prevent further sexual harassment or address or redress the sexual harassment it can be held liable for it under the federal statute.

How much money in a college sexual harassment case?

The compensation in a college sexual harrassent case is more difficult to assess. It depends often on the emotional injuries that the particular student, for instance, has suffered. So it would depend on how bad, for instance, the sexual harrasment was. Was there forced sexual activity? That would be a case where there might be higher emotional injuries and therefore higher damages. So it's really difficult to assess that. And I would recommend to anyone that believes they're being sexual harrased on a college campus seek the advice of an attorney so that they can help you assess whether you have a case, in the first instance and also what kind of damages could could evolve out of that case. My name is Walker Harmon. I'm the managing attorney of the Harmon Firm. If you believe you've been the victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak with you.

Is my professor guilty of sexual harassment?

If your not certain whether the attention you're receiving from your professor is sexual harassment, you should first talk to the professor and explain that the attention you're receiving, whether it be an invitation to dinner or whether it be just merely sitting too close, is not the kind of attention you want. If the professor, for instance, doesn't stop you need to follow your schools procedures and make a formal written complaint regarding the professor's conduct. And you should do so expeditiously and you should put it in writing and as I always say, keep a copy of it. My name is Walker Harmon. I'm the managing attorney of the Harmon Firm.

How expensive to file a college sexual harassment case?

If you're a college student and you feel you've been sexually harassed, you might feel you don't have the funds to seek a lawyer's device. Many lawyers will consult, if ever so briefly, with you for free. Many lawyers will take on cases on a contingency basis. There are also free legal services both on campus and off campus in many college environments. I recommend that you use the internet, and you use your school resources to seek out the advice of an attorney who will offer their services, at least initially, for no charge so that you can determine whether or not you have a case against your college.
