University Daily Kansan, June 11, 1981 Page 9 Sexual harassment, amendment rally topic of NOW meeting By CONNIE SCHALLAN Staff Reporter An employer who treats male and female employees differently practices sexual discrimination and possibly sexual harassment, Daniel Resnick, education specialist for the Kansas Commission on Civil Rights, told the Lawrence chapter of the National Organization of Women Tuesday night. The KCRC was established through the Kansas Act against Discrimination in 1963. It investigates race, religion, color, national origin, sex, physical handicap and ancestry discrimination complaints. The commission's jurisdiction covers employment, housing and public accommodations. Resnick addressed the group, NOW held its monthly meeting. At the meeting, they discussed NOW's goals. NOW'S GOALS ARE to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, ensure reproductive freedom, and establish lesbian rights. Many people feel that in the current conservative political and moral atmosphere, the accomplishment of all three goals is essential for NOW's report a sharp increase nationwide in membership applications after last November's election. Many people have gotten scared, "Clare Novak, public relations director of the Lawrence NOW chapter said. 'They've realized that complacency is no good. They realize that they have to be active." The floor was then turned over to Resnick who spoke briefly about all the areas that the KCCR investigates. He began discussing mobilization and harassment in the labor force. "The commission doesn't have a definition of sexual harassment. However, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, in its infinite wisdom, does," he told the twenty-five women and three men present. The EEOC is the federal agency that investigates discrimination complaints. Its definition of sexual harassment is "such conduct that has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual's work environment, hostile or offensive work environment." Resnick outlined the procedure a woman should take if she feels she is a victim of sexual harassment or discrimination: The woman should first document the names, dates and descriptions of the incidents. She should then inform her superior. It is then the superior's responsibility to rectify the situation. If nothing is done to rectify the situation, the woman should contact the KCR or the EEOC within six months. A WOMAN MAY BYPASS the former steps, except the documentation, if the harassment or discrimination is from the "head honcho." "If it is the head horcho that is doing it, just come to us," he said. The agency then begins investigating the complaint. "In order to determine discrimination or harassment on the job, we have to look at how employees are treated to compare," Resnick said. The commission tries to schedule a preliminary investigation settlement within four to five weeks after receiving the complaint. A complaint may take as long as three years to settle if it goes all the way to district court. "Very few cases go all the way to district court, however," he said. "Our fastest-moving complaints are housing complaints. Housing complaints by law have to be investigated within 10 days. They're a ton priority." Resnick had encouraging news for those interested in eliminating sexual harassment on the job. The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. ruled this year, in Bunday v. Jackson, that a woman must show up to an interview "poisoned" by sexually stereotyped insults to win a sexual harassment case. Before that case, a woman had to show a measurable or tangible loss. Rennick also said that women in Kansas were more fortunate than those in Texas. The Kauai allows remuneration for working in an "upsetting atmosphere." State Representative Jesse M “Kansas was making progress,” Branson said after the meeting. “It was one of the first states to ratify the ERA and to have an effective abortion rights law. However, I feel the pendulum is swinging in the other direction.” Branson, D-Lawrence, was an obverser at the meeting. "The position of women's rights in Kansas is being threatened a little. We are not making as much progress as we should, or were three years ago." Branson will be a speaker at NOW's June 27 Countdown Rally. She will be joined by State Representatives John D. Lawrence and Jo Charlton, both D. Lawrence. ERA SUPPORTERS, dressed in white, the women suffragette's color, will meet at City Hall, Sixth and Massachusetts streets, and march south on one lane of Massachusetts Street to South Park for the rally. The main purpose of the rally is to call attention to the ERA as a positive issue, Novak said. The rally is also scheduled to make people aware that there is only one year left to ratify the amendment, she added. The ERA was approved by the U.S. Senate on March 22, 1972. To become a constitutional amendment, it must be ratified by the fourteenth session within seven years. A three-year extension was approved in 1979. To date, 35 states have ratified, three short of the required 38. Ray Cyr, 2021 W. 17th St., is disturbed by the current conservative atmosphere. Cyr has been a member of NOW since 1970, and is one of the three members in the Lawrence chapter. "I think that it is time that men make themselves clear on the women's rights issue," Cyr said. "It is not just a battle for women. Men have to get out there on the front line to stop discriminatory practices." and through U.S. Supreme Court decisions. OPPONENTS OF THE ERA content that women's rights can be obtained through the Fifth and 14th Amendments Novak agreed with Grasso's statement. The late Ella Grasso, former governor of Connecticut, said in 1971, "History shows that women cannot rely on the courts to achieve their rights. They have never had the right. Amendment's have not accorded women the rights they must have." "If they would have been used to help us, they would have been used by now," she said.
