(iii) The conduct or communication has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual's employment, public accommodations or public services, education, or housing, or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive employment, public accommodations, public services, educational, or housing environment.” MCL 37.2103(i).

2016 federal case law update:
“whether co-employee's conduct went beyond mere employee horseplay and actually rose to level of sex-based discrimination was question for jury;
whether co-employee's conduct was sufficient to create work environment that was not only subjectively hostile to employee but that would also have been perceived as hostile by reasonable person was also question for jury;
whether employer took requisite prompt and appropriate responsive action was jury question;
evidence of how co-employee treated other male and female employees in mixed-sex workplace was admissible to show that co-employee's harassment of employee was based on sex;” Smith v. Rock-Tenn Servs., Inc., 813 F.3d 298 (6th Cir. 2016)
