Bollinger v. CDOC focused on harassment in which sector?

Bollinger v. CDOC focused on harassment in which sector?

• A. Private sector
• B. Public sector
• C. Military
• D. Non-profit organizations.

Answer: (B)

This item tests recognizing the setting of the harassment claim. Bollinger v. CDOC involves the Colorado Department of Corrections, a state government agency, so the dispute occurs in a public sector workplace. The public sector includes government agencies and state-run institutions, where employees are state employees and protections come from civil rights laws that apply to public employers (and sometimes related constitutional claims). The other options don’t fit because they describe private or non-government contexts (private companies, non-profit organizations) or a distinct realm with its own rules (the military). Since the case centers on a state department, the relevant sector is the public sector.
