Government Workplace Harassment
The harassment in question could be of a sexual or nonsexual nature but is a form of employment discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

Harassment is legally defined in as unwelcome conduct based on race, color, sex, religion, national origin, disability or age. It becomes unlawful in situations where the offensive conduct becomes a condition of continued employment, or the conduct is severe or pervasive enough to create a work environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile or abusive.

Harassment is also prohibited against individuals in retaliation for filing a discrimination charge; testifying or participating in any way in an investigation, proceeding or lawsuit; or opposing employment practices that discriminate against others.
