Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Louisiana

At my college they have nursing students bend over to check their underwear line to make sure their undergarments abide by the dress code. I believe this constitutes as sexual harassment. Where can I find some state laws that are related to sexual harassment?

While I understand the need to enforce a dress code, what you describe seems to be an extreme and improper way of doing that. Sexual harassment is prohibited by state and federal law. La. R.S. 23:301 et seq. is where you can find the Louisiana laws. I would note, however, that what you are describing may be sex "discrimination" rather than sex "harassment," so you may want to keep that in mind.
