The California State Senate is considering a bill that would increase mandatory anti-sexual harassment training for California college students. Assembly bill (A.B.) 2683 would further entrench the already unconstitutional definition of sexual harassment used in state colleges and universities, and which might lead to an increase in unfounded Title IX claims.
California's education code currently defines sexual harassment as "unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal, visual, or physical conduct of a sexual nature, made by someone from or in the work or educational setting" that "has the purpose or effect of having a negative impact upon the individual's work or academic performance, or of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work or educational environment."
