How is sexual harassment in college defined?

There is a specific statute that prevents sexual harassment on a college campus that receives federal funds. It's a federal statute. It applies in the state of New York as well. And if your particular college or university receives federal funds (the vast majority of them do,) your particular college or university will fall under the statute and it prevents any type of sexual harassment on a college campus and if the college doesn't take immediate action to prevent further sexual harassment or address or redress the sexual harassment it can be held liable for it under the federal statute.

Why is sexual harassment in college so damaging?

Sexual harassment on a college campus, particularly if the student is the victim of the harassment, can be so damaging because college is oftentimes the beginning of someone's career, and more importantly in a sense the beginning of one's adult life. If your college career is destroyed by a professor who's out of control, and pursuing you sexually, and you don't make the grades that you should have gotten, or you don't get the special honors degree that you should have gotten, your whole life can change. My name is Walker Harman. I'm the managing attorney of the Harman Firm. If you believe you've been the victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak with you.

Who's the #1 sexual harassment victim in college?

In my experience, the most common victim of sexual harassment on a college campus is a student. And the harasser is oftentimes the person in power whether it be a professor, or administrator, or researcher. And the scenario arises when the person in power, the professor, is spending great deals of time alone with the student. Say there’s a mentoring program or you’re doing an independent study. So with a great deal of time alone creates a situation where the person in power can take advantage of the powerless person, the student. I find that that’s a very common scenario on a college campus. My name is Walker Harman. I am the managing attorney of the Harman Firm. If you believe that you’ve been the victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak to you! Please give us a call.

How much money in a college sexual harassment case?

The compensation in a college sexual harrassent case is more difficult to assess. It depends often on the emotional injuries that the particular student, for instance, has suffered. So it would depend on how bad, for instance, the sexual harrasment was. Was there forced sexual activity? That would be a case where there might be higher emotional injuries and therefore higher damages. So it's really difficult to assess that. And I would recommend to anyone that believes they're being sexual harrased on a college campus seek the advice of an attorney so that they can help you assess whether you have a case, in the first instance and also what kind of damages could could evolve out of that case. My name is Walker Harmon. I'm the managing attorney of the Harmon Firm. If you believe you've been the victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak with you.

Is my professor guilty of sexual harassment?

If your not certain whether the attention you're receiving from your professor is sexual harassment, you should first talk to the professor and explain that the attention you're receiving, whether it be an invitation to dinner or whether it be just merely sitting too close, is not the kind of attention you want. If the professor, for instance, doesn't stop you need to follow your schools procedures and make a formal written complaint regarding the professor's conduct. And you should do so expeditiously and you should put it in writing and as I always say, keep a copy of it. My name is Walker Harmon. I'm the managing attorney of the Harmon Firm.

How does sexual harassment happen in college?

Sexual harassment on college campuses is primarily understood to be sexual harassment by a professor perpetrated against a student. That is the most common type of sexual harassment on a college campus. But it’s not limited to that; it could be student on student sexual harassment. It could be an administrator of a college. It could be a research assistant of a professor. So it’s really not just limited to the commonly understood scenario, where you have a professor and a student. And I think that everyone on a college campus should be aware of that. My name is Walker Harman. I am the managing attorney of the Harman Firm.

How expensive to file a college sexual harassment case?

If you're a college student and you feel you've been sexually harassed, you might feel you don't have the funds to seek a lawyer's device. Many lawyers will consult, if ever so briefly, with you for free. Many lawyers will take on cases on a contingency basis. There are also free legal services both on campus and off campus in many college environments. I recommend that you use the internet, and you use your school resources to seek out the advice of an attorney who will offer their services, at least initially, for no charge so that you can determine whether or not you have a case against your college. My name is Walker Harman, I'm the managing attorney of The Harman Firm.

What is your experience as a foreclosure defense attorney?

My name is Carl Pierson, and I am a Attorney in New York State. I am admitted to the Federal and State Courts in New York State, and I have various admissions elsewhere throughout the country. I'm a graduate of Harvard Law School, I graduated as the Magna Com Laudi at Long Island University, and I was the Student Council President there. My efforts for many years have been in law. I have more than forty years of litigation experience across the board in a variety of different types of matters. And I'm bringing all of that to bear on this new phenomenon, the crisis that we have in America of foreclosures. I'm trying to deal with them in the best way for the benefit of the people that are losing their homes. Because they don't have to lose their homes, there are protections. For example, New York State is not by accident the state which has the longest period of time for a foreclosure to take place. It was done deliberately in order to prevent people from being thrust out of their homes merely because the bankers are tired of having them live in their homes. So we set up obstacles, and that creates a 14 month period, roughly, for a person to be still in his home even when though he can't pay the mortgage. We've done that deliberately. In California, however, there is a non-judicial foreclosure. And they don't even go into court. When you lose your home in California, the bank puts a sign on your front lawn, they have a bus that takes people by your property, and then they sell your property. And that's a non-judicial foreclosure in Arizona, New Hampshire, California and other states. So New York is the longest state, and the best protected, the state that has the best protection for it's residents. I'm Carl Pierson, a New York lawyer, and a fighter, to keep people in their homes.
