One is called "quid pro quo." That is when someone causes a student to believe that he or she must submit to unwelcome sexual conduct to participate in a school activity.
It can also occur if someone causes a student to believe that an educational decision will be made based on whether the student submits to unwelcome sexual conduct.
So, if a school official or someone threatens to fail a student unless the student agrees to date that person, it is quid pro quo harassment.

The other form involves a "hostile environment".
That is when unwelcome, sexually harassing actions are so serious that they affect a student's ability to participate in or benefit from an education activity, or creates an intimidating, threatening or abusive educational environment.
