What type of retaliation is prohibited against an employee who reports unlawful discrimination or harassment?

The anti-retaliation provision of Title VII proscribes not only tangible employment actions, such as termination of employment, but also any act that would “have dissuaded a reasonable worker from making or supporting a charge of discrimination.”  Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Co. v. White, 548 U.S. 52, 68 (2006).  Note that retaliatory harassment does not require a showing that the harassment was severe or pervasive.
