Scope

所有涉及校园内社区成员的财务和行政政策, including volunteers are within the scope of this policy. 如果在部门期望和大学政策中描述的共同方法之间存在差异, the college will look to the campus community, including volunteers to support the spirit and the objectives of college policy. Unless specifically mentioned in a college policy, the college’s Board of Trustees are governed by their Bylaws.

Policy

I. INTRODUCTION

书院的教育使命取决于书院社区成员之间相互尊重和信任的学习和工作环境,以及对影响他们福祉的决定的基本公平性的信心.

有可能破坏信任或公平观念的个人关系与学院的中心宗旨背道而驰. Particularly problematic are consensual sexual relationships, past or present, 大学社区的两名成员之间的关系,其中一人对另一人行使直接监督或评价权(例如, supervisor and subordinate employee, department chair and member of his or her department). Because of their inherent power differential, 这种关系充满了滥用的可能性:它们会降低对任何影响下属方的评估过程的信心. 它们会妨碍既定程序的有效性,并微妙地改变学院关系的动态. They can interfere with the proper fulfillment of professional responsibilities.

This policy was formerly under the Gender-based Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, and Sexual Violence Policy and Procedures.

II. PROHIBITED RELATIONSHIPS

In the interest of ensuring a living, learning, and working environment that supports its mission, 书院就双方同意的性关系采取以下政策:

A. 学院禁止教职员工和学生之间的所有性关系,除非在一方被指定为教职员工或学生之前已经建立了关系, such as when a faculty member’s spouse/partner chooses to enroll in a course. 在已有关系的情况下,学生不得参加其配偶/伴侣教授的课程.

B. 学院禁止教职员和学生之间发生任何性关系, 除了一个有限的例外:学生和大学校友之间的关系,他们在毕业后立即, or at the start of the semester immediately following graduation, 开始为学院工作,并在其就业开始之日与学生保持现有关系, 除非他们对学生没有任何直接的监督或评价权.

C. 学院不允许任何学院成员与他们有直接监督或评价权的人发生性关系,继续对从属方行使这种权力.

D. 学院禁止宿舍助理(“宿舍助理”)与任何被分配到宿舍或其他宿舍的学生发生性关系,宿舍助理负责或被分配到宿舍或其他宿舍.

E. 学院禁止第一年经验(“FYE”)导师和参加FYE计划的学生之间的所有性关系, 以及桥梁学者导师和参加桥梁学者计划的学生之间的交流, 在学生参加各自项目期间(无论是作为参与学生还是导师).

III.      ENFORCEMENT

A. 任何教职员工违反学院禁止师生发生性关系的规定,将受到纪律处分, up to and including dismissal.

B. 如果毕业生在毕业后立即开始在学院工作,并且在开始工作时与学生有现有的关系,那么工作人员是否应该满足例外, 该职员在开始为学院工作后,必须立即通知学院人力资源部.

C. 教职员工之间是否应该发展一种性关系,其中一方对另一方有直接的监督或评价权, 学院要求有权力的人及时回避对下属方行使该权力,并且今后不得对另一方行使直接监督或评价权力. To these ends, 有权力的人必须通知他们的主管或学院院长或相应的副校长和人力资源领导, of the consensual relationship in which they have become involved. While keeping this information as confidential as possible, 被告知此事的上级将采取必要措施,确保具有监督或评价权的教职员工不会对关系中涉及的另一方行使该权力,并且由其他人承担监督或评价者的角色, if possible and in the best interests of the College. 在关系中对另一方有权威的人在未来任何时候都禁止对关系中的另一方有直接的监督或评价权力. 任何工作人员或教职员工如果没有将本协议关系政策所涵盖的双方同意的关系通知其上级,将受到纪律处分,可能包括书面谴责、无薪停职或解雇.

D. Any RA who wishes to enter into a sexual relationship with one of their residents, or vice versa, must first request and receive a move to another residence.
