Mike and Kathy are both tenured associate professors in a school's English Department. Kathy is constantly asking Mike out on dates, which he always refuses. He has asked her to stop asking. Furthermore, Kathy is always making provocative comments to him, telling dirty jokes, and asking him about his preferences in women, which embarrasses him and has caused him to lose sleep. If Mike sues the school for permitting her behavior:
A) the school would win because a woman can't harass a man and he should be flattered rather than upset.
B) the school would win because Mike and Kathy are on the same employment level and Mike can't be truly harassed unless Kathy has the ability to impact his job status, which she doesn't.
C) Mike would win if he had previously complained to the school and it had done nothing to stop the harassment.
D) Mike would win because, regardless of notice, the employer is automatically liable for any improper activity that occurs on the job and it is the employer's responsibility to know what is happening on its premises.
