CASE QUESTIONS

1. What were the legal issues in this case? What die the courts decide?

2. What tangible employment actions does Hardage allege? Why does the court not agree?

3. Was Hardage subjected to a hostile environment? Were Sparks' actions toward him "unwelcome"? Does it matter that most of the incidents occurred outside of the workplace? Why or why not?

4. What did the employer do to prevent and promptly correct any harassment? Do you think that the company did enough in this case to meet its legal obligations? Why or why not?

5. Why do you suppose that Hardage acted as he did (i.e., continuing to socialize with Sparks, waiting months to complain, not supplying all of the "gory details," saying that he preferred to deal with the matter on his own)? Was he unreasonable in failing to take advantage of the employer's preventive and corrective mechanisms?
