HARASSMENT AFTER THE SUPREME COURT'S DECISION IN ONCALE: A RECENT TEXAS
CASE ILLUSTRATES THE ISSUES
FindLaw columnist and Hofstra law professor Joanna Grossman discusses a
recent Texas case of male-male harassment as a window into how cases of
same-sex harassment are litigated today, in the wake of the Supreme
Court's 1998 Oncale decision. Oncale held that same-sex harassment is
prohibited by Title VII, the federal anti-discrimination statute, but only
if the harassment is "because of sex."

- TRANSSEXUALS,
DRESS CODES, AND THE LAW: A NEW JERSEY COURT DECISION EMBRACES A BROAD
CONCEPT OF SEX DISCRIMINATION
FindLaw columnist and Hofstra law professor Joanna Grossman discusses a
recent New Jersey appellate decision holding that discrimination against
transsexuals may constitute both sex discrimination and disability
discrimination. Grossman analyzes relevant precedents, including a key
Supreme Court decision on what sex discrimination means and a number of
lower court decisions upholding gender-based dress codes. Tuesday,

- "EQUAL
OPPORTUNITY" HARASSERS: DOES A SEX HARASSER WHO TARGETS BOTH MEN AND
WOMEN VIOLATE FEDERAL ANTI- DISCRIMINATION LAW?
FindLaw columnist and Hofstra law professor Joanna Grossman discusses a
recent Connecticut case, of a fire chief alleged to have sexually harassed
both male and female employees. Grossman notes that the case raises a
question that has long interested legal academia: Can an alleged
"equal opportunity" harasser, who is said to harass both
genders, be sued under Title VII, the federal anti- discrimination
statute, for discriminating "because of sex"? Or is he exempt
from Title VII because he discriminates regardless of sex, not because of
it? Grossman considers these questions, as well as the scenarious of the
bisexual harasser and the same-sex harasser.Tuesday,

- WHAT
REMEDY IS PROPER FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT?
FindLaw columnist and Hofstra law professor Joanna Grossman discusses
Pollard v. E.I. DuPont de Nemours, the sexual harassment case the Supreme
Court will hear next month. Pollard raises the issue of whether the
damages cap in Title VII (the federal anti-discrimination statute) applies
to an award of "front pay" -- pay the plaintiff would have
earned if, after winning her case, she returned to the company at which
she had worked. In addition to arguing that front pay is not subject to
the damages cap, Grossman explores several other interesting aspects of
the case, including the fact that Pollard suffered sex-based, but not
sexual, harassment.
