Scenario #1 Sexual Harassment

In 2015, Bill O'Reilly, Fox's top political television host, generated about $180 million in advertising revenue for Fox News. The following year, a longtime Fox broadcaster accused O'Reilly of seeking a sexual relationship with her, and sexually harassing her, back in 2011. When she resisted, O'Reilly retaliated and attempted to derail her career

Scenario #2 - Defining Harassment

The EEOC differentiates between two types of sexual harassment-quid-pro-quo and hostile environment. Determine whether each of the following four scenarios constitutes sexual harassment. Do they crate a "hostile environment" at work? Explain your rationale for each.

Scenario One: Mary is Tom's administrative assistant. Every morning Tom makes flattering comments about Mary's appearance.

Scenario Two: Mary is Tom's administrative assistant. Tom invites Mary out for drinks to a singles bar after work. Mary claims not to be available. One week later Tom invites Mary out for drinks after work again.

Scenario Three: Mary is Tom's administrative assistant. Tom is an affectionate person and gently touches the arms of both male and female workers while engaged in conversation. Tom gently touches Mary's arms two or three times a day during conversations.

Scenario Four: Mary is Tom's administrative assistant. Tom receives several unsolicited junk e-mails a day, including those about improving sexual performance. Tom believes one of these unsolicited sexual performance e-mails is quite humorous, and he forwards the e-mail to Mary.
