- explaining that an employer’s liability for hostile-environment sexual harassment is based on “a negligence standard that closely resembles the ‘fellow servant’ rule” rather than on respondeat superior
- affirming dismissal of plaintiff's sexual-harassment-related tort claims based on Indiana precedent establishing that such claims are \within the exclusive jurisdiction of the workmen's compensation law\
- “A remedial measure that makes the victim of sexual harassment worse off is ineffective per se.”
