• “We agree with [the plaintiff] that the close proximity in time between her report of alleged sexual harassment and her demotion is enough to establish the causation element of her prima facie case.”

• “An employee’s attempt to prove pretext requires more substantial evidence than it takes to make a prima facie case because unlike evidence establishing a prima facie case, -15- evidence of pretext and retaliation is viewed in light of the employer’s justification.”
