Heading: Unwelcome Harassment

Text: The first question is whether a reasonable jury could find that Badell’s allegedly harassing behavior was unwelcome. Hrobowski v. Worthington Steel Co., 358 F.3d 473, 476 (7th Cir. 2004). Kampmier testified that Badell’s obscene comments and constant physical contact made her uncomfortable. She complained about Badell’s behavior on three separate occasions, which was confirmed by Grover. Grover testified that she complained on numerous occasions to Emeritus’ corporate office, specifically Lawson, but the response was always that they did not want to hear about it. Emeritus contends that Kampmier engaged in sexual banter herself; however, it did not point to any evidence in the record that Kampmier encouraged the alleged behavior or welcomed it in anyway. Accordingly, Kampmier has raised a genuine issue of material fact about whether Badell subjected her to unwelcome harassment. No. 06-1788 15
