If you or your loved one were victims of one of the above illegal actions, it is also possible that the school can be held liable. For example, some fraternities and sports teams claim to be engaging in “initiations,” “rituals” or “horseplay.” However, when such actions are discriminatory or of a sexual nature, it more than likely qualifies as sexual harassment and/or a hostile work environment which is actionable under Title 9. Schools should do everything in their power to prevent such behavior and even if they cant, schools must do everything in their power to address complaints from students and investigate as soon as possible.
