Abstract

This article deals with issues that arise when disciplining the alleged perpetrators in sexual harassment cases. It lays out a number of guides to help organizations deal with sexual harassment and examines three recent cases to provide insights into the basis for proving charges and anticipating possible defenses to those charges. This article highlights the need for clear rules that specify penalties, for impartial and complete investigations, clear specification of charges, and due process.
