Overview: A University of Alabama campus police officer complained to the chief that his boss, the deputy chief, was sexually harassing him. Instead of disciplining his subordinate, the chief fired the complainer. When the former cop sued, university administrators ducked under the cloak of immunity, claiming Congress had lacked the power to make states vulnerable to such lawsuits. The federal law in question was, of course, Title VII of civil rights statutes, which bars employment discrimination because of gender, among other protected characteristics. James D. Downing charged that his supervisor had harassed him specifically because of his sex. The article puts light on sexual harassment issues.
