The policy should include various examples of sexual harassment to cover all possible scenarios. However, leeway should be allowed for cases that do not fit the norm. Many times there is a miscommunication between the harasser and the victim because the harasser is unaware that their actions are wrong and against the rules. The sexual harassment policy needs to include a punishment plan that is followed all the time so students understand that sexual harassment will not be tolerated. The punishment needs to be strong but fair.
Community service is a just punishment for first time offenders.
The amount of time one serves the community can vary according to the severity of harassment. He may gain something from helping out other people and decide that he will no longer be destructive in nature, but help out others instead. If a student were to be accused and found guilty of sexually harassing a second or third time then a more severe punishment should be served. Students should be suspended from participating in extra curricular activities and other special activities such as dances and pep rallies. On top of this students should be issued an in school or out of school suspension.
