Abstract: 

Sharon Pollard sued E.I. du Pont de Nemours (her former employer), alleging that she had been subjected to a hostile work environment based on her sex in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000 et seq. The District Court found that Pollard had been subjected to coworker sexual harassment of which her supervisors were aware, and that the harassment resulted in a medical leave of absence for psychological assistance and her eventual dismissal for refusing to return to the same hostile work environment. (Pollard v. E.I. du Pont Nemours, 16 F.Supp.2d 13 (W.D.Tenn. 1998).)
