Sexual Harassment NPR's Nina Totenberg reports that the Supreme Court heard arguments today in two important sexual harassment cases. There is no dispute in either case as to whether sexual harassment took place. Instead, the issue is who should be liable for damages. One case involves a city... the other a school board. Both argue that they should not have to pay damages for sexual harassment committed by their employees, because officials did not know it was happening.
