Description
Can staring at a fellow employee-"to gaze fixedly . . . with eyes wide open," is how the Oxford English Dictionary defines the word-constitute actionable sexual harassment under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA)? We hold that under the circumstances disclosed by the record in this case, such conduct may indeed violate FEHA's proscription on gender-based harassment in the workplace. Whether it does or does not amount to harassment as a matter of fact is a determination for the trier of fact in later proceedings; here, we decide only that the superior court erred when it granted the employer's motion for summary judgment on the ground an employee's conduct in staring at plaintiff at her work station on an automotive assembly line was not actionable as a matter of law.
