More details to this question:
I explained to two supervisors and my HR rep. that I was working in a hostile environment. Told them that I did not want to leave the organization but did not feel like I had any other choice since my supervisor was not willing to change the environment. I said I would stay until the end of May when the program I run is over however, today my HR rep said that my notice was too long (3 months) so my last day was in two weeks. I was shocked as this had not been expressed at the previous meeting and I was trying to make this a win win situation for my interns and the program.

Kansas is an at will employment state. you tendered your resignation and the employer accepted with 2 weeks notice. you resigned due to the hostile work environment. Legally, harassment is defined as unwelcome comments or actions, based on these characteristics (for example, sex or disability), that creates a hostile or offensive working environment or that the victim must put up with as a condition of employment. you must show that the harrasment was directed at you as a member of a protected class. if you can prove you left work due to such conditions you can draw unemployment.
