The inspector general‘s report examined the response to sexual harassment complaints by the Architect of the Capitol office, which is responsible for operations at the complex.
By Colby Itkowitz Colby Itkowitz Congress, campaigns, health policy, Pennsylvania politics Email Bio Follow April 12 at 4:53 PM Overnight custodial workers on Capitol Hill have alleged being targets of sexual harassment, overhearing harassing conversations and seeing materials such as pornography in the offices of members of Congress, an inspector general’s investigation has found.
A final report, submitted to Congress on March 15 and first reported by Roll Call on Friday, concluded that the AOC, which allegedly was not fully cooperative, maintains an outdated culture that sometimes creates an environment in which harassment is seen as permissible and employees do not feel comfortable coming forward.
“We feel misperception is attributed to the lingering cultural bias discussed in this report and also to the tendency of employees in dysfunctional work environments to casually use terminologies that apply to legally protected classifications for workplace conditions,” the investigators wrote.
