“(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) (iii).
2022 update:
“Title VII makes it unlawful for an employer to “discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.” 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(a)(1). Under Title VII, “employees [have] the right to work in an environment free from discriminatory intimidation, ridicule, and insult.” Meritor Sav. Bank, FSB v. Vinson, 477 U.S. 57, 65 (1986). To succeed on a hostile work environment claim, the employee must establish (1) he was a member of a protected class; (2) he was subjected to unwelcomed harassment; (3) the harassment was based on race; (4) the harassment created a hostile work environment; and (5) the employer is liable for the harassment.”
“If the harassing employee is the victim's co-worker, the employer is liable only if it was negligent in controlling working conditions.” Id. But if the harasser is a supervisor and the “harassment culminates in a tangible employment action, the employer is strictly liable.”
Burns v. Berry Glob., Inc., No. 21-5359, 2022 WL 351769, at *5 (6th Cir. Feb. 7, 2022).
