Hello Everyone,

Below you will find the original directions to this discussion, and the updated instructions that include the assignment (the one that was posted, but you could not answer). I've extended the due date a week, and I'm all but positive that Rae will be lenient on the grading for the first round. There has been great discussion from what I can tell so far, and the additional direction might help some of you struggling to find your voice or how to start.

Original Instructions:

Telling our stories: Have you ever been or know someone that has been a victim of sexual harassment?  Not sure?  After you have read the material, you will better understand that there are events that happen in the workplace that are illegal.  Sexual harassment is prohibited under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  If you are comfortable telling the details, please share.  It always amazes me to look at the industries that are impacted more than others.
