This will point u in the right direction.
3.1.4 Wishnietsky 1991. Prior to the AAUW studies, and for a regional
population, Dan Wishnietsky tried to determine the extent of sexual abuse by staff in
schools, analyzing 148 responses to his survey of North Carolina 1989 high school
graduates. His findings of students who have been the targets of educator sexual
misconduct are five times the rate of prevalence of those of the AAUW study. In his
survey he used this definition of sexual harassment and abuse:
Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other
verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual
harassment when (1) submission to such conduct is made either
explicitly or implicitly as a term or condition for academic advisement,
(2) submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is
used as a basis for academic decisions affecting such individual, or
(3) such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably
interfering with an individual's academic performance or creating an
intimidating, hostile, or offensive academic environment (1991, p.
167).
Wishnietsky then asked the graduates, “Based on the above definition, do you believe
that you experienced sexual harassment during your high school years?” Forty three
percent reported insulting comments, looks, or gestures by a teacher; 17.5 percent
reported sexual touching; and 13.5 percent reported sexual intercourse with a teacher. |
