We are working on a faculty-student "fraternization" policy on our campus (currently we have nothing in writing). The most recent draft would prohibit dating relationships between faculty and students when there is a "relationship of authority" (e.g. registered as a student in a class, advisee, supervisee or employee). Two questions: 1. Would a policy as described above generally be interpreted as prohibiting a dating relationship between a faculty member and a major in a teacher's department if they were not registered for a class from that teacher? (I suppose we should state explicitly what our intent is, but for now we are interested in what most readers would assume from the general statement). 2. It has been represented to us by some presenters that most colleges/universities now prohibit all dating relationships between all those paid to teach classes and anyone registered to take classes at the institution. Does such a blanket prohibition seem more common than the more targeted prohibition described above? **************************************************** Aubyn Fulton, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology Chair, Behavioral Science Department Pacific Union College Angwin, CA 94508 Office: 707-965-6536 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***************************************************** --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
