Twin Oaks Senior Center is liable to Chia because it took no action to stop the harassment from Ken. Employers have the responsibility to prevent and correct any national origin harassment that may take place within their working environment. If an employer is aware of or is made aware of the harassment and takes reasonable steps to prevent and correct it, the employer may likewise be relieved of any liability.
