Sexual harassment is morally wrong and legally actionable.
Most sexual harassment claims are made under Title VII of the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964. In a series of major decisions in 1998, the United States Supreme Court clarified and broadened the law. Conduct which a reasonable person would find severely hostile or abusive, given an appropriate common sense sensitivity to social context, clearly will be regarded as sexual harassment. Physical contact or touching is NOT necessary. The critical issue is whether members of one sex are exposed to disadvantageous terms or conditions of employment to which members of the other sex are not exposed.
