Abstract

This article examines the concept of sexual harassment and traces significant legal developments that have occurred. These issues are illustrated with reference to Supreme Court cases and cases in the Sixth Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. Recent tort issues that have been raised in sexual harassment cases in the Sixth Circuit are discussed. Sexual favoritism as a form of sexual harassment discrimination is discussed in relation to EEOC Guidelines and relevant case law. Finally, the issues of employer liability and defenses are covered.
