Gov. Fallin issues executive order to crack down on sexual harassment
Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin on Friday issued an executive order instructing state officials and state agency directors to "build an environment free from sexual harassment and unlawful discrimination."
Sexual harassment is wrong and cannot be tolerated, Fallin stated in a news release. We have seen a growing number of sexual harassment incidents reported in Oklahoma and across the nation. Our state employees, like all Oklahomans, have a right to work in an environment free from any form of sexual harassment and other forms of harassment and unlawful discrimination."
The executive order instructs state officials and agency directors to be proactive in training their employees about inappropriate behavior and prohibiting employees from engaging in such behavior. It also directs them to notify employees of their agency's policy pertaining to sexual harassment and unlawful discrimination and to inform employees about the procedure for filing and processing a complaint with the attorney general's Office of Civil Rights Enforcement or the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
