Two days: A Title VII case

Description

Abstract: There’s no bright line test for establishing a hostile work environment. But two factors that courts commonly look at are the frequency and severity of the discriminatory conduct. This article covers Boyer-Liberto v. Fontainebleau Corp., a case in which the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit considered whether the use of a racially derogatory term over the course of two days could support a racial discrimination claim based on a hostile work environment under Title VII. Boyer-Liberto v. Fontainebleau Corp., No. 13-1473, May 13, 2014 (4th Cir.)
