RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN UNIVERSITY STAFF AND STUDENTS
Stony Brook Policy P 208
Issued by: Office of the President
Replaces: Policy 208, December 1993
Approved: March 26, 2008
All University employees, including administrative staff, medical personnel,
full and part-time faculty, teaching assistants and academic mentors,
act on behalf of the University and with its authority when supervising
or evaluating student work, assigning grades for credit, or acting in
an advisory capacity.
Personal Relationships:
Familial, romantic and sexual relationships compromise the objectivity
and integrity with which University employees discharge their academic,
administrative and supervisory responsibilities. The use of the student-faculty
or student-supervisor relationship to seek or maintain a personal relationship
is an abuse of power and is specifically prohibited by campus policies
P105 Equal Opportunity / Affirmative Action and P106 Sexual Harassment.
Business Relationships:
Business relationships between faculty and students that actually or
potentially entail obligations or concessions that may compromise the
academic integrity of either party or the academic program are not acceptable.
See campus policies P209 Conflict of Interest and P508 Financial Transactions
with Students.
Additionally, all full and part-time University staff, as State employees,
are subject to the ethics provisions of the New York State Public Officers
Law that prohibit acceptance of any personal gift of more than nominal
value.
Individuals engaged in such behavior are subject to disciplinary and/or
legal action.
