Surveys of college students in the United States revealed that a significant number of students thought they had been victims of some form of sexual harassment.

Separating Equals: Educational Research And The Long Term Consequences Of Sex Segregation, Nancy Levit
Separating Equals: Educational Research And The Long Term Consequences Of Sex Segregation, Nancy Levit
Nancy Levit
The article imports into the legal literature for the first time the full range of single sex education research, from this country and others, and examines sociological research that has been omitted from the debate.
