The parties entered into a consent decree on January 20, 1999 which stipulated that it would not create a hostile work environment for any of its employees, it would not retaliate against Title VII complaints, it would provide a copy of its sexual harassment policy to all employees, it would post a notice of compliance with Title VII, it would provide Title VII training to its employees, would create a letter of positive reference for the aggrieved employee, and pay $72,500 in damages to the aggrieved employee.
