Relationships between Teachers and Students

Students and teachers should recognize the special nature of the teacher-learner relationship which is in part defined by professional role modeling, mentorship, and supervision.

Due to the special nature of this relationship, students and teachers should strive to develop their relationship to one characterized by mutual trust, acceptance and confidence. They should both recognize the potential for conflict of interest and respect appropriate boundaries.

Allegations of mistreatment that do not otherwise fall under university policies may be reported by students through EthicsPoint or to the Office of the Dean of Students.
