Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The law treats sexual harassment as a form of sexual discrimination. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits sex discrimination, which includes sexual harassment in the workplace.

Answer: D 
 This statement is not accurate. Differences in levels and types of education are not the sole explanation for the gender pay gap. Other factors such as occupational segregation, discrimination, and the motherhood penalty also contribute to the pay gap.

Answer: A and B 
 Both statements are not accurate. Men can be victims of sexual harassment and the Supreme Court has not established a clear-cut line between permissible and impermissible affirmative action plans. The Court has provided some guidelines, but each case is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
