A woman hired as a prison librarian complained about harassment by a supervisor from another agency that operated at the prison. The behavior that was the subject of her complaint, some of which was witnessed by other employees, occurred about four times a week from the time that she was hired in July 2000 to October 2001. Her complaints about the supervisor included making comments to another male supervisor that the woman should be “spanked” every day; making insistent compliments about her appearance and “how attractive” she was; staring at her breasts during conversations; measuring her skirt for the purported purpose of determining whether it complied with the prison’s dress code; and repeatedly remarking that if he had such an attractive wife, he would never allow her to work in a prison around so many inmates. Allegedly for safety reasons, the supervisor had a security camera installed in the librarian’s office, permitting him to observe her as she worked at her desk. Right after the objectionable conduct began, the librarian complained to her immediate supervisor, who said that “boys will be boys” and took no action. She did not file a formal complaint. She believed that she was ineligible to file a formal complaint during her first year of employment due to her probationary status. After she had been on the job for more than a year, she complained to another manager and an internal investigation was undertaken at that point. The woman sued. What should the court decide? Why? (Singleton v. Department of Correctional Education, 2004 U.S. App. LEXIS 24059 (4th Cir.)) A minimum of 600 words and two outside sources are required per question.


2. Read the case study and explain how the court should decide in this case. Please include a full justification for your decision.

A 17-year-old female supermarket employee was being severely harassed by a coworker named Bob. Twice she complained about the harassment to her fiancé, who also worked at the supermarket. Twice the fiancé reported the harassment to the store manager. Both times the manager informed him that under company policy, the woman had to report the harassment herself and make the report directly to the human resources (HR) department. The manager also discouraged the fiancé [and thus the female employee] from further complaints, suggesting that it might only make matters worse. The manager did not report the incidents to anyone. The manager also shrugged off the second report of harassment, saying, “That’s just Bob being himself.” The woman did not make the report to the HR department, but she sued for [among other things] sexual harassment in violation of Title VII. What should the court decide? Why? (Varner v. National Super Markets, 94 F.3d 1209 (8th Cir. 1996),cert. denied, 519 U.S. 1110 (1997)) A minimum of 600 words and two outside sources are required per question.
