Which of the following is NOT part of the definition of sexual abuse of a student?
Answer: Number 4, “any form of sexual harassment of a student by a staff member,” is NOT part of the definition of sexual abuse of a student. Sexual abuse of a student typically involves physical or inappropriate sexual interactions between a staff member and a student.
Sexual harassment, while serious and unacceptable, is a separate category of behavior that involves unwanted sexual advances, comments, or conduct that creates a hostile or uncomfortable environment for the victim. While both sexual abuse and sexual harassment are serious issues, they are distinct concepts in terms of definition and legal implications.
