Travis Texas Jury Instruction — 1.2.3 Sex Discrimination Quid Pro Quo Violation: The Travis Texas Jury Instruction 1.2.3 pertains to cases involving sex discrimination quid pro quo violations. This instruction provides guidance to the jury on how to determine if a quid pro quo violation has occurred in the context of sex discrimination. Quid pro quo, Latin for "this for that," refers to a situation where an individual in a position of power requests sexual favors or demands sexual advances from another person in exchange for a job benefit, promotion, or to avoid adverse employment actions. Quid pro quo violations create a hostile work environment, adversely affecting victims and their right to equal employment opportunities. This jury instruction is designed to educate the jury members about the specific elements that need to be proven in a sex discrimination quid pro quo case. These elements may include: 1. Gender-based request: The instruction outlines that the alleged harasser made a request or demand of a sexual nature based explicitly on the victim's gender. 2. The involvement of employment actions: The instruction explains that the harasser made the sexual request as a condition of a job-related benefit or took negative employment actions against the victim for refusing or not complying with the request. 3. Causation: The instruction clarifies that there must be a causal link between the refusal to meet the harasser's demands and the harm suffered by the victim, such as denial of promotion or termination. It is important to note that if the jury finds all these elements to be met, they may determine that a quid pro quo violation has occurred in the case. However, if any of these elements are not proven, the jury may conclude that the sex discrimination quid pro quo violation has not been established. Different types or variations of the Travis Texas Jury Instruction — 1.2.3 Sex Discrimination Quid Pro Quo Violation may include specific instructions tailored to particular circumstances or cases. For instance: — Instructions specific to different employment sectors (e.g., corporate, educational, healthcare) where quid pro quo violations related to sex discrimination may vary in their application. — Instructions addressing cases involving multiple alleged harassers or situations where the harasser is not the direct superior of the victim. — Instructions specific to cases involving same-sex harassment or where the gender of the victim or the harasser may be non-binary or transgender. These variations aim to educate the jury about the specific nuances and considerations that may be relevant in different cases involving sex discrimination quid pro quo violations, ensuring a fair and just evaluation of the evidence presented.
