Suzanne could sue based on quid pro quo, which is when an employee who refuses to submit to a superior's sexual advances is threatened with dismissal or other sanctions. The second type of sexual harassment is hostile environment harassment; it occurs when jokes, graffiti, and other behavior are directed at persons of the opposite sex.
