United States Eighth Circuit

In a hostile work environment action pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the Iowa Civil Rights Act of 1965, summary judgment for defendant is affirmed where: 1) the reported harassment was not so severe or pervasive that it met the high threshold for a hostile work environment; and 2) defendant could not be held liable for unreported harassment unless there was some basis for establishing that it knew or should have known about the misconduct.
