Dating violence is included under the Final Rule as a form of sexual harassment when it occurs in the education program or activity and is unwelcome, and it involves conduct on the basis of sex or that affects access to the education environment. The rule uses a broad approach to sexual harassment to ensure such conduct within schools is addressed with the same seriousness as other sexual conduct, providing proper investigations, remedies, and protections for students. It isn’t treated as a separate offense outside of sexual harassment, nor is it something only found in policy guidance. The Final Rule makes dating violence part of the Title IX framework when it intersects with a student’s education environment, so it’s considered sexual harassment in that context.
