Student Non-Fraternization Policy

Fraternization between Employees and students is strictly prohibited. 

大学期望员工与学生保持适当的专业关系, 并且要对自己与学生之间的不当行为保持敏感. For this reason, Employees are prohibited from engaging in any of the following types of conduct, regardless of whether the conduct occurs on or off campus. 

Fraternization may include, but is not limited to:

• Fostering, 鼓励或参与与学生不适当的情感或社交亲密关系，这种关系超出了合理的专业员工与学生关系的范围, 并且这种关系可以合理地导致学生将雇员视为不仅仅是老师, advisor, administrator, or other.
• 与学生发生任何恋爱或性关系，包括约会, flirting, sexual contact, inappropriate displays of affection, or sexually suggestive comments between Employees and students, regardless of who initiates the behavior, consensual or not.
• 因与学校无关的原因开始或继续与学生沟通, including oral or written communication; telephone calls; electronic communication such as texting, IM/DM, email, social networking sites.  Electronic and online communication should be professional in content and tone.
• Socializing with students on or off campus, 或因与学校有关的目的或工作职责无关的原因而在课堂以外的时间. 
• Visiting with students.
• 因与学校无关的原因而使用私家车接送学生, or loaning the use of private vehicle to a student.
• Borrowing/lending money to students.
• Inviting students to an Employee's home; unless for a University related reason and authorized in advance by the Vice-President.  An example may be a coach inviting the team for team building.  Under no circumstance should only one student be invited to an Employee’s home.
• Providing housing to students.
• 向学生出售或从学生那里购买不属于大学赞助的筹款活动.
• Involvement with a student, 在履行工作职责以外的任何方式.

Relationship Policy

有些关系涉及无法消除的内在利益冲突.  Interactions that go beyond the normal scope of business, such as romantic and/or sexual Relationships, 是否会干扰和破坏机构作为一个不受约束的学习环境和工作场所的基本目的. 

Individuals should be aware that dating, intimate, romantic and/or sexual Relationships between individuals of unequal power, even when consensual, 可能会导致性骚扰的指控，因为当存在权力差异时，同意的自愿性是值得怀疑的. For this reason, Relationships of this type are prohibited.

Listed below are various Relationships governed by this Policy.
