Which of the following is a form of sexual harassment listed for students under Title IX?

• A. Sexually explicit drawings or written materials
• B. A one-time fist fight
• C. A poor grade
• D. Quid Pro Quo

Answer: (A)

Sexual harassment under Title IX includes unwelcome sexual conduct or materials that disrupt a student’s learning environment. Sexually explicit drawings or written materials fit this because they introduce explicit sexual content in the school setting, are often directed at or seen by others, and create intimidation, discomfort, or humiliation. That combination—unwelcome sexual content in the school context that affects the learning environment—counts as a form of harassment schools must address.

The other scenarios don’t involve sexual conduct in the same way: a one-time fist fight is about violence, not sexual behavior; a poor grade is an academic outcome, not harassment; Quid Pro Quo is a recognized form of sexual harassment, but the example here highlights explicit material as a clear illustration of harassment in a school setting.
