A CALL TO ACTION
"No
other term in history has produced so many rulings on sexual harassment and they yield an
unequivocal message ... the law now clearly supports employers and schools that
proactively fight sexual harassment."
New York Times
"The
Court's lesson from these cases is clear ... a school's only chance to avoid liability is
to revise and strengthen its policies and education programs to prevent and correct sexual
harassment."
Washington Post
"The
Court has set a clear, bright-line standard - companies and educational institutions must
now take steps to revise and strengthen their harassment policies and they must also
implement training programs on the issue."
Wall Street Journal
"The
Court's lesson from these cases is clear ... the only chance of avoiding liability is to
draw up and enforce better policies and education programs to prevent and correct sexual
harassment."
Atlanta Constitution
"These
decisions should compel employers and schools to take immediate action to strengthen their
existing anti-harassment policies, procedures, and programs, knowing that they can
significantly limit their legal liability by doing so."
Los Angeles Times
