Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the evolution of the legal definition of sexual harassment.
  • To examine how Title VII and Title IX apply to sexual harassment claims.
  • To clarify the scope of sexual harassment in employment and academic contexts.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of legal definitions and media usage of "sexual harassment".
  • Review of Title VII and Title IX legal frameworks.
  • Examination of case law concerning hostile work and academic environments.

Main Results:

  • The application of sexual harassment law has broadened significantly.
  • Title VII and Title IX now encompass hostile environment claims, not solely economic/academic impact.
  • Legal protections against sexual harassment extend to environments where status is not directly affected.

Conclusions:

  • The legal understanding of sexual harassment has evolved to include hostile environments.
  • Title VII and Title IX provide crucial legal recourse for victims of sexual harassment in work and education.
  • Expanded definitions enhance protections against sex-based discrimination.
