CESU 111 - Quid Pro Quo Harassment

Institution:

West Virginia Northern Community College

Subject:

Comm Educ: Supervision

Description:

You can have the promotion if you will sleep with me. Some acts of quid pro quo sexual harassment are as blatant as that statement but many are not. When innocent flirting develops into more - or when a relationship that started as casual dating goes awry - an employee and the whole organization can be flirting with disaster. You will learn how even employees who are not actually involved in the situation may be affected - and in some cases, affected enough to entitle them to file lawsuits of their own! Then, you will look inside the heads and hearts of all the people involved to see why quid pro quo harassment is so devastating. You will get a clear sense of what it is like to be a victim of sexual harassment, a coworker close to the situation, or an employee from another part of the organization. You will even gain insights into the psychological repercussions for a typical perpetrator. Then on to an in-depth look at the victim and their responsibilities. All employees - that is to say, all potential victims - should know the five basic harasser profiles, the appropriate steps to take when things begin to get out of hand, and how to go about actually making a formal charge of harassment. Finally, you will get to sit on the bench yourself and see if you can guess how a real judge ruled in a real case of alleged quid pro quo sexual harassment.
