Sexual harassment in education

EEOC v. Air Liquide USA, LLC et al, in 2006 Jacqueline Ferrel asserted that she was retaliated against after filing a sexual harassment claim against her manager. The Euro American male manager in question was moved to another department. Jacqueline was moved to a different zone within the same department with a different Euro American male, Mr. Spencer, a manager who had been heard to say, “Women are not cut out for this job.” Her new manager was exceptionally harsh on the female analysts in…

Then I was told at the February 19th manager meeting that I can no longer talk to associates about safety issues. I am the NGIS Safety representative and as I do my walk about, I ask the associates if they have noticed any safety issues that need to be addressed. I was told I can no longer ask them about this. If it is truly a safety issue and can be addressed by maintenance, I go straight to maintenance and report it. If it deals with anything else I have reported that to Lisa. I have been…

from sexual harassment or any other type of discrimination and is dictated on the level of both federal and state. The Title VI of Civil Rights Acts of 1964, which is enforced by US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, makes it unlawful and illegal to discriminate someone because of their national origin, religion, color, race or sex. Any physical or verbal behavior of sexual nature, sexual advances that are not welcomed, or request for sexual favors are generally the description of sexual…

was if or not this case achieves the legal standards for a hostile work environment. So that sexual harassment or a hostile work standard to be met, two things are expected to take place (1) the individual needs to be offended by the action/environment (2) a reasonable individual would as well required to be offended by the action/environment. The former is rather easy to prove in most sexual harassment claims. Whether I am suing, that is generally enough of a sign that I am offended. However,…

Ursula versus Kevin complaint. Ursula is a member of a protected class as a woman. However, it is difficult to ascertain without actions of a sexual nature or spoken language on the part of the assumed perpetrator that his actions are gender-related. One would have to define “staring” as a sexual advance. I don’t believe it can be defined as a sexual advance with the information provided in this case. Kevin may simply thin that Ursula reminds him of an endearing family member. However,…

representative, Rachel, handed out a copy of the Team Member Handbook: Stores Non-exempt to each of us. On page 8 of my copy, (mine is the 9/14 revision.) it outlines Harassment-Free Workplace guidelines, and the types of conduct prohibited. Here is where my issue comes in. The handbook gives the following examples as being inappropriate, “Making sexual comments or jokes, or using graphic or sexually degrading language to describe someone,” and “Passing around or displaying sexually suggestive…

Every single day, the words sexual harassment and sexual assault get used interchangeably. People are focused on creating humor in horrible situations as a defense mechanism to prevent themselves from looking weak and that makes them end up overlooking the details. Unfortunately to the victims, they know the difference all too well. An article called “6 Bizarre Realities of Being a Man Who Was Raped by a Woman”, explains that people do not take sexual assault and harassment seriously. The victim…

personal stories in almost ever other corner of the globe, citing the hashtag “Me Too” as a solidarity symbol. I love this. In my view, ‘Me Too’ is an incredibly positive initiative. It allows people to understand just the sheer magnitude of sexual harassment and sexual assaults inflicted upon people, and allows outsiders to understand that it’s not just a hypothetical or even theoretical problem: it’s happening at a frightening frequency at a personal level as well and has been happening for…

your body that was inappropriate? Almost anytime I swim or leave the house without a male family member or friend, I experience harassment from middle-aged men; I am fifteen. Consequently, I feel uncomfortable and without control. Yelling and commenting on a woman's body not only on the street, but in any public place is an invasion of privacy and a form of sexual harassment, and catcalling shows the subtle sexism that is present in our society that allows men to think they are entitled to…

Social Injustice Sexual Assault is defined as illegal sexual contact against an individual by force who is incapable of giving consent, while Sexual Harassment is defined to be harassment in a professional or social setting in which an individual is met with unwanted sexual remarks and/or advances. Though defined to be different, both Sexual Assault and Harassment are incredibly consistent throughout the United States, especially at the workplace. Throughout the years, it has become a repeating…
