Why Title VII Should Prohibit All Workplace Sexual Harassment

Lehman, Brian
Abstract
Over the last decade, courts have increasingly struggled with a problem in sexual harassment doctrine: Title VII, the statute under which most federal claims of sexual harassment are brought, does not explicitly prohibit sexual harassment.
