Summary

• Harassment claims in Alaska are governed by the Alaska Human Rights Act (AHRA). See Harassment Under the Alaska Human Rights Act.
• Harassment claims under the AHRA follow the same basic framework as harassment claims under Title VII, but the remedies for a violation of the AHRA are different than under Title VII. See Remedies for Harassment.
• The Alaska State Commission on Human Rights receives, investigates and handles harassment claims. See Alaska State Commission on Human Rights.
