BIA Manager Allegedly Sexually Harassed Three Subordinate Employees

The OIG investigated allegations that a BIA manager had sexually harassed his direct subordinate. The employee and two other women, both of whom had reported to the manager in the past, told us that he had subjected them to unwelcome and inappropriate touching or sexual remarks. The employee said the manager touched her inappropriately and made unwelcome remarks of a sexual nature to her. The second woman, also a BIA employee, said the manager had made inappropriate remarks to her when she worked for him.

Personally Identifiable Information of 182 DOI Employees Placed at Risk

This management advisory is to alert the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) to an incident we discovered in which a DOI employee unnecessarily shared a spreadsheet containing the personally identifiable information (PII) of 182 employees from a number of DOI bureaus. During a recent investigation, we learned that the DOI employee created the spreadsheet for use in internal training and then emailed it to a group of from several DOI bureaus. Because the group members all got the same spreadsheet, they were able to access the PII of employees in DOI bureaus outside their own.
