Abstract
This Note begins by briefly discussing the scope and gravity of the sexual harassment problem. It then traces the historical development of hostile environment harassment claims through Meritor Savings Bank v. Vinson, the only United States Supreme Court treatment of the issue. This Note then briefly describes two similar duties: the modem duty to prohibit sexual harassment in the workplace that has resulted from Title VII and subsequent case law, and the traditional, preexisting duty to maintain a safe work environment, which encompasses the first. The Note then focuses on the modem duty in the context of numerous recent court decisions. Finally, it discusses the scope of the duty to prohibit sexual harassment and the importance of recognizing it as part of the larger duty to maintain a safe and healthy work environment.
