Female Supervisors Face Significant Sexual Harassment
Probably not a big surprise to many readers out there that female supervisors are still harassed in large numbers, but the fact that this study show that they are harassed more than non-supervisor female employees is just a little surprising to me (via MSNBC):
Female managers are 137 percent more likely to experience sexual harassment than their rank-and-file counterparts, according to a recently released study.
Even Heather McLaughlin, a sociologist at the University of Minnesota and the primary investigator on the study, was surprised by the findings.
As we officially open the school year, I have been thinking a lot about what are the secrets to success in law school. I understand that Dean Rofes spoke at Orientation about the sausage races at Miller Park. (I personally always root for the Chorizo Sausage!) Law school may sometimes feel a bit like a race, or, to think more classically about Aesop’s fables, like the story of the Tortoise and the Hare. In that story, the tortoise ultimately wins the race using slow and steady steps to the finish line.
I greatly enjoyed last week’s exchange among colleagues Bruce Boyden, Ed Fallone, and Gordon Hylton regarding literary sequels and the general purposes of copyright law. It is my impression that most blog posts do not purport to be “scholarly,” but the posts by Boyden, Fallone, and Hylton had the length and depth necessary for that characterization. I hated to see the exchange end.
