Sexual harassment is the unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that tends to create a hostile or offensive work environment. Discriminatory harassment is any unwelcome, typically repeated offensive conduct that is directed at an individual because of his/her membership in a legally protected class. (Protected classes are based on federal law or Executive Order: race, sex, age, disability, religion, national origin, color, reprisal, genetic information, sexual orientation, and status as a parent.)
