Faragher v. City of Boca Raton, 524 U.S. 775 (1998)

In the live commentary , it needs to be new material, not just the same thing as the module document. Something like this is what should be in the module page document, instead of what’s in there now.
Issue 2  If an employer is liable, should an employer have any defense to liability for the supervisors’ sexual harassment?
While there might be circumstances to which an employer should have any defense to liability, this is not one of those times.
?    The City of Boca Raton had an anti-harassment policy in place, but failed in its responsibility to distribute it to all personnel.
?    The City of Boca Raton allowed the supervisory positions in the Marine Safety unit to go unchecked and did not assume proper responsibility for its supervisor’s harassment.
Then your live commentary should be more about how it does not help to have an anti-harassment policy in place, when there is effort made to distribute it to the area that needed it most, and no training of anti-harassment procedures, how the City should not be allowed to claim that it had no notice, if it did not give employees like Faragher information about how to make a claim. And how if, as Mr. Gordon remarked, the City “ didn’t care,” enough to supervise its supervisors, it should not be able to have a defense to liability.
