America is in the middle of an agonizing reexamination of sexual conduct. What constitutes sexual harassment or assault? Where is the line that separates acceptable or merely rude actions from unacceptable and possibly illegal behavior?
In this session we will define sexual harassment in the workplace. We will also examine best practices relating to the investigation of sexual harassment allegations, using the fascinating events from over the last year that led to the resignation of Roger Ailes and Bill O'Reilly from Fox News, the terminations of Matt Lauer from the Today Show, and Harvey Weinstein from the Weinstein Company as case studies.
