From the Paper:

"Many employers are requiring that their staff be trained and tested regarding their knowledge of harassment (of all kinds) focusing primarily on relationships between employees as well as relationships between employees and the employer. There could be more education at Reed High School regarding harassment issues and where the line gets drawn for faculty regarding interaction with students, as well as the students regarding interaction with students and faculty. This seems to be a very hot issue currently, especially with regard to employee rights. It would benefit the school to have boundaries set and a plan of action in place with an educated staff for harassment issues."
