Consensual Relations. Since a consenting romantic or sexual relationship, especially one between a teacher and a student or a supervisor and an employee, may be unethical and unprofessional, faculty, administrators, supervisors, and others in positions of authority shall take care always to maintain the highest ethical and professional standards in their interactions with students and employees. A consensual relationship in which one party is in a position to review the work of the other or influence the other person's opportunities is a conflict of interest and may provide grounds for a formal complaint and/or appropriate disciplinary action. When a consensual relationship results in a conflict of interest, the faculty or staff member shall immediately disclose the conflict of interest to his or her supervisor. The supervisor and the employee shall take steps to ensure that the conflict of interest is eliminated.
Consensual Relations. The University of West Florida is committed to a learning and employment environment free from unlawful harassment, discrimination, and unprofessional conduct. Consenting romantic and sexual relationships between faculty members and students under their authority, while not expressly forbidden, are discouraged. The respect and trust accorded a professor by a student, as well as the power exercised by the professor or supervisor in assigning grades and providing evaluations, advice, or recommendations, creates an imbalance of power and may diminish the student's or subordinate's actual freedom of choice. Parties outside the relationship, students or employees, may view such relationships as creating an unf a i r , disruptive, or discriminatory environment. An employee will work with his or her supervisor to develop alternative arrangements for evaluation of any student or employee under his or her authority with whom the employee is romantically or sexually involved.
