Sexual Harassment Suit at SUNY New Paltz
Inbal Hayut was a student at State University of New York at
New Paltz in
1998. Her professor Alex Young observed that she wore
lipstick, which was
the same color as Monica Lewinsky´s. He began calling
Hayut
"Monica" and making comments such as "How was
your
weekend with Bill" in front of the class. Young
continued this behavior
despite requests to stop. Hayut left the university and
filed suit in May 2000,
claiming that Young created a "sexually hostile
environment." In
February 2001, a federal judge ruled that she is entitled to
sue for sexual
harassment. Young, who is 72, is now retired.
