United States Eighth Circuit

In appeals under Title VII, 1) an uncompensated researcher was not an employee, 2) disparate treatment and retaliation claims failed where no adverse employment action was shown, and 3) a hostile work environment claim was not actionable where an employee never informed her employer or supervisor, and neither knew or should have known of racially harassing conduct.
