4.2.01 The faculty recognizes that the
enrollment in a course of any student having a close personal relationship
with the instructor creates a potential conflict of interest or appearance
of favoritism. Therefore, it is the policy of the faculty that such
enrollment should be avoided.
4.2.02 The relationships that are within the scope
of this policy are spousal or similar close personal relationships that
would create an appearance of favoritism, as well as close familial
relationships such as those with siblings, parents, or children.
4.2.03 In the event that a student seeks to enroll
in a course taught by a faculty member with whom the student has a close
personal relationship, the following steps shall be taken:
A. When it is possible for the student to enroll in a section of
the same class taught by another faculty member, the student shall
be strongly encouraged to do so. In order to effectuate this policy,
affected students will be permitted to register in another section
or in the other division. When situations covered by this policy are
brought to the attention of the administration, all reasonable efforts
will be made to avoid such conflicts.
B. If the student is unable or unwilling to enroll in a course other
than one taught by the faculty member with whom the student has a
close personal relationship, then grading shall be on a "satisfactory-unsatisfactory"
basis.
