217. Business Case Problem with Sample Answer- Sexual Harassment. Jamel Blanton was a male employee at a Pizza Hut restaurant operated by Newton Associates, Inc., in San Antonio, Texas. Blanton was subjected to sexual and racial harassment by the general manager, who was female. New- ton had a clear, straightforward antidiscrimination policy and complaint procedure. The policy provided that in such a situ- ation, an employee should complain to the harasser's supervi- sor. Blanton alerted a shift leader and an assistant manager about the harassment, but they were subordinate to the gen- eral manager and did not report the harassment to higher-level management. When Blanton finally complained to a manager with authority over the general manager, the employer investi- gated and fired the general manager within four days. Blanton filed a suit in a federal district court against Newton, seeking to impose liability on the employer for the general manager's actions. What is Newton's best defense? Discuss. [Blanton v. Newton Associates, Inc., 593 Fed.Appx. 389 (5th Cir. 2015)] (See Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.)
