The Michigan Daily - Weekend, etc. Mag
A note to our readers:
As college students, we are constantly bombarded by the images and
consequences of sex - among friends, in advertisements, on TV and the big
screen and, recently, in U.S. politics.
This week's Weekend, etc. Magazine examines the issue of sex on campus and
may contain articles and photographs of a more delicate nature than usual.
Our intent is to examine very legitimate sex-related concerns at the University,
to provide important legal and safety information and to offer a bit of humor.

For the Daily
At some point in our lives, most
have all been, as Van Halen put it,
"hot for teacher." Whether it
occurred in the second grade, high
school or college, most people have
experienced the excitement that
accompanies the forbidden infatua-
tion that students occasionally
develop for their teachers.
Although it is fairly common for
students to fantasize about their
teachers at one time or another, it is
much more rare for them to actually
turn these dreams into reality. But if
students happen to be in the risque
minority of people who entertain
the thought of becoming romanti-
cally linked with the same person
who assigned that 20-page term
paper, they should consider the
University's official policy on fac-
ulty- and staff-student relationships.
Though official University policy
does not explicitly prohibit consen-
sual relationships between faculty
and students, it does raise "serious
concerns about the validity of the
consent, conflicts of interest, and
unfair treatment of others."
Additionally in 1986, the
University's Senate Assembly, the
faculty's governing body ruled that
sexual relationships between stu-
dents and faculty or staff are "a
basic violation of professional
ethics and responsibility" when the
faculty or staff member is responsi-
ble for the evaluation of the stu-
dent's academic performance. This
is based on the University's nepo-
tism policy that prohibits faculty or
staff from evaluating the academic
performance of anyone with whom
they have intimate or close relation-
ships. As a result of these policies,
the University requires faculty and
staff to disclose any sexual or
romantic involvement with a stu-
dent to their supervisor in order to
arrange for objective outside acade-
mic evaluation of the student's
work.
University Ombuds Jennifer
Walters, who assists students with
problems and complaints, cautioned
students from becoming romantical-
ly or sexually involved with faculty
or staff. She warned there is a major
power differential in the relation-
ship and she said the potential for
abuse and exploitation as well as
retaliatory harassment.
In addition, these relationships
can have a negative effect on other
students in the classroom who may
believe the faculty or staff member
favors the student with whom they
are romantically or sexually
involved. Walters said she has not
heard of any problems between stu-
dents and faculty and staff who date
outside the classroom.
