Subsequently, chapter 3, "What Is the Liability of the Administrator and Institution?" discusses the consequences if sexual harassment does occur and the costs involved in litigation; and chapter 4, "Practices To Implement Sexual Harassment," provides suggestions for what administrators must know to investigate sexual harassment claims and specific actions to take when allegations of sexual harassment occur.
