Improper relationships
Familial relationships
A faculty member may not supervise or evaluate any enrolled student
to whom he or she is related by blood, law, or marriage.
Amorous relationships
The University of North Carolina does not condone
amorous relationships between students and employees. Members of
the University
community should
avoid such liaisons, which can harm affected students and damage
the integrity of the academic enterprise. Further, sexual relationships
between unmarried persons can result in criminal liability. In two
types of situations, University prohibition and punishment of amorous
relationships is deemed necessary:
- When the employee is responsible for evaluating or supervising
the affected student.
- When the student is a minor, as defined by North Carolina law.
Prohibited conduct
and corrective action are specified in the Board
of Governors' policy Improper
Relationships between Students and Employees. UNCW procedures
for investigating complaints are found in the UNCW Code of Student
Life, Appendix J: Administrative
Review Procedure for Investigating Complaints Pertaining to Sexual
Harassment, Improper Personal Relationships, Personal Discrimination,
Unlawful Workplace Harassment, or Workplace Violence.
