Exercise 17
Between 1985 and 1990, while attending college, Beth Ann Faragher worked part-time and summers as an ocean lifeguard for the City of Boca Raton. Ms. Faragher resigned in June 1990 and brought a Title VII sexual harassment suit against the city in 1992. She alleged a sexually hostile atmosphere because of "uninvited and offensive touching," lewd remarks, and her supervisor's comment "Date me or clean the toilets for a year."
Ms. Faragher had not complained to higher management. Two months before Ms. Faragher's resignation, a former lifeguard, Nancy E. Wanchew, wrote to the city's personnel director complaining about Mr. Terry and Mr. Silverman's harassment of female lifeguards. Should the city be held liable? [Faragher v. City of Boca Raton, 524 U.S. 775 (1998).]
