New Policies to Review
Reporting Misconduct Policy
- This policy identifies multiple options for students, staff, clinicians, and faculty to provide good-faith reports of misconduct, including the use of the revamped SLU Integrity Hotline at 1-877-525-5669.
- The policy prohibits retaliation against any person who, in good faith, makes an allegation of misconduct or participates in an investigation of misconduct.
Consensual, Sexual, or Romantic Relationship Policy
- This policy prohibits consensual relationships in which one party has any direct authority, including supervisory or classroom authority, over another. It prohibits a former romantic or sexual partner from supervising or teaching the other party. Recusals or disclosures may be required for past or present consensual relationships that pre-date implementation of this proposed policy, and where unequal positions of power and authority currently exist.
- Additionally, this proposed policy explicitly forbids sexual or romantic relationships between a faculty member and an undergraduate student, and sexual or romantic relationships between a staff member — including graduate assistants and teaching assistants — and an undergraduate student.
