Regardless of whether the people involved are male or female,
admin, teacher, or other staff, the scenario described is
highly inappropriate. Gender and job position aren't
relevant... inappropriate behavior is inappropriate behavior.
The questions asked in this post sound quite a bit like the
type of scenario often presented in admin courses as
assignments; is this true? If it's a real event, how do you
know about it, and what happened as a result?
