The U. S. Supreme Court affirms for the first time in Meritor Savings Bank v. Vinson that sexual harassment on the job is sex discrimination and a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In two other rulings, the Court reaffirms the legality of affirmative action to remedy past discrimination.
