Faragher V. City Of Boca Raton: A Personal Account Of A Sexual Discrimination Plaintiff, Beth Ann Faragher
Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal
Former Supreme Court plaintiff Beth Ann Faragher ruminates on the circumstances that led to the Supreme Court's landmark decision in Faragher v. City of Boca Raton. For Ms. Faragher, the case was about much more than the monetary issue involved, specifically whether she should have been awarded $1.00 under Title VII. The case became, in her words, "a national issue of human dignity and civil rights."

How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying (Cases): Gender Stereotypes And Sexual Harassment Since The Passage Of Title Vii, Miriam A. Cherry
How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying (Cases): Gender Stereotypes And Sexual Harassment Since The Passage Of Title Vii, Miriam A. Cherry
Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal
This Article, which is part of a symposium on the 40th Anniversary of Title VII appearing in the Hofstra Labor and Employment Law Journal, evaluates the progress of women in the workforce by critically analyzing the musical "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying." Written in the early 1960s and made into a 1967 movie, How to Succeed follows the adventures of J. Pierrepont Finch, a window washer who, with the aid of a sarcastic self-help book, schemes his way up the corporate ladder. It also includes the sexual exploits of the exclusively male executive corps among the female …
Same-Sex Harassment: Do Either Price Waterhouse Or Oncale Support The Ninth Circuit's Holding In Nichols V. Azteca Restaurant Enterprises, Inc. That Same-Sex Harassment Based On Failure To Conform To Gender Stereotyopes Is Actionable?, Philip Mcgough
Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal
In Nichols v. Azteca Restaurant Enterprises, the Ninth Circuit, overruling a twenty-two year old case, held that same-sex harassment based on gender stereotypes is actionable under Title VII. The court based this holding on the Supreme Court's 1989 opinion in Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins. However reasonable a reading of Title VII, the author argues that Nichols takes a major step beyond Hopkins, and resolves an issue not considered, even by implication, in the case. Further, same-sex harassment based on gender stereotypes is an issue sidestepped by the Supreme Court in Oncale - its only opinion to date dealing with same-sex …

A Reply To Women Denied Partnerships Revisited, Christine Neylon O'Brien
A Reply To Women Denied Partnerships Revisited, Christine Neylon O'Brien
Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal
This article is in the form of a response to one of the scholars who wrote about our work. One year earlier, we published an article that generated a tremendous amount of interest. In this response to that author's points, I agree that while the Hopkins decision stands as a remarkable milestone, the decision possibly raised as many questions as it answered that will require resolution through the courts or Congress.

Women Denied Partnerships: From Hishon To Price Waterhouse V. Hopkins, Gerald A. Madek, Christine Neylon O'Brien
Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal
This article reviews the seminal Supreme Court decision governing access to partnership status in professional settings in the context of a sex discrimination challenge. As women entered the workforce in record numbers, they thrived against the backdrop of the 1964 Civil Rights Acts. There were still obstacles however, to the complete participation of women in the workforce one generation later. Although legal precedent existed for the equal treatment of women in low and middle management jobs, this was not the case for women seeking executive and partner-level jobs. The Supreme Court considered this issue in the case, Price Waterhouse v. …
