This tutorial is a learning tool designed to assist you in understanding the law of sexual harassment.

Sexual harassment is a form of unlawful sex discrimination. Like other forms of illegal discrimination, sexual harassment against either employees or students is prohibited under policy of the California State University (CSU) and San Diego State University (SDSU). SDSU vigorously enforces that policy.

Studies show that many people who commit acts of sexual harassment on the job or on campus do not mean to harass or discriminate. We hope that, by the time you have completed this tutorial, you not only know why sexual harassment is unlawful, but also can better appreciate the types of conduct that, under the law, are sexual harassment.

To reinforce what you learn, it might be a good idea to read Sexual Harassment at Work and Sexual Harassment On Campus after you are finished with the tutorial.
