SUU Professor Selected to Sit at the Oxford Round Table

Dr. Gerald Calvasina, associate professor of management at SUU, is one of only 35 individuals from across the globe chosen to sit at the esteemed Oxford Round Table of the University of Oxford in England. Past members to the Round Table include members of Parliament, governors of states in America, and CEOs of international corporations.

The 2004 Round Table, commencing March 14-April 19, will be devoted to the contemplation of employment rights and duties of both the employer and the employee, including issues like affirmative action, health insurance, privacy in the workplace, paid family leave, discipline and dismissal, and sexual harassment. Calvasina will be presenting a paper at the Round Table, titled, “Title VII and Third Party Sexual Harassment: The Customers Not Always Right.” He explains that this subject is one of the emerging areas of liability for employers, and one that law journals have been addressing to some extent. “Litigation in this area is on the increase,” Calvasina states. “I try as much as possible to focus my research on issues that I can use in the classroom so that I can keep my students as current as possible on the issues.”
