In Pursuit of the Truth: School Employee Sexual Misconduct
Sun, April 16, 11:40am to 1:10pm CDT (11:40am to 1:10pm CDT), Swissôtel Chicago, Floor: Lucerne Level, Lucerne 3Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
School employee sexual misconduct, the abuse of K-12 students by school employees, continues to be a pervasive issue in American schools. Federal and state laws exist to prevent and respond to cases, but many loopholes allow offenders to get hired and re-hired in our schools. This symposium will discuss issues that impact the truth of school employee sexual misconduct including: implementation of federal and state laws; challenges with data collection; the cost of the problem; unintended consequences; and the role of organizational culture in enabling the sexual abuse of students.
