The Office of Academic Affairs, together with the Office of Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity, has developed a resource to to highlight the reasons why relationships between faculty members and students are problematic. The website provides examples of some of the associated unintended consequences, and relevant information that can help guide your decisions should you find yourself involved in such a relationship.
