ABSTRACT It is widely known that the hospitality industry is rife with sexual harassment of especially female employees, yet every year hospitality programs send out thousands of students to complete internships making them vulnerable to sexual harassment, which is a violation of their Title IX rights. The purpose of this descriptive study was to be the first to survey US hospitality students to see if they experienced sexual harassment during a recently completed internship. The majority of the 297 respondents did not experience sexual harassment but a sufficient number experienced sexist and sexual hostility mostly from male managers, coworkers, and customers. The majority of respondents were not informed as to the inappropriate sexual behaviors they may encounter during their internship; over half were given no training by the internship coordinator or employer on what to do if harassed. It is clear that more needs to be done by internship coordinators and employers to protect student interns Title IX rights.

酒店实习生的性骚扰

摘要众所周知，酒店业尤其是女性雇员普遍受到性骚扰，但每年的款待计划都派出数千名学生完成实习，使他们容易遭受性骚扰，这违反了他们的第IX权利。这项描述性研究的目的是第一个对美国酒店业学生进行调查，以了解他们在最近完成的实习期间是否遭受过性骚扰。在297位受访者中，大多数人没有遭受过性骚扰，但有足够数量的人遭受了性别歧视和性敌意，主要来自男性管理者，同事和顾客。大多数受访者没有得知他们在实习期间可能遇到的不适当的性行为；实习协调员或雇主没有对超过一半的人进行骚扰方面的培训。显然，实习协调员和雇主需要做更多的工作来保护学生实习生标题IX的权利。
