What is Quid Pro Quo Sexual Harassment?
Sexual harassment in the workplace and educational institutions is a serious issue that can take many forms, including the more severe type of misconduct known as quid pro quo harassment.
This form of harassment involves an individual in a position of power using that power to pressure or coerce someone into sexual activity or behavior.
Quid pro quo harassment is a type of sexual discrimination that is prohibited under Title IX and is derived from the Latin phrase "something for something."
It occurs when an individual in a position of authority demands sexual favors in exchange for job-related benefits and the subordinate employee experiences adverse consequences for refusing to comply.
Employers have a responsibility to prevent and address quid pro quo harassment in the workplace by implementing clear policies and procedures for reporting and investigating such conduct.
They must also provide training to all employees on what constitutes quid pro quo harassment, how to prevent it, and what to do if they experience or witness it.
