Harvard University has introduced a total ban on relationships between professors and students.
Staff said they introduced the ban after considering how "power dynamics can contribute to sexual harassment".
Harvard's previous ban on staff-students affairs only applied if couples were in the same class.
A committee which drafted the guidelines concluded the university needed to strengthen its language on "relationships of unequal status".
Harvard University is not the only higher education college in the US to introduce such a ban.
Its rival Yale did so in 2010, as did the University of Connecticut in 2013.
Based in Cambridge near Boston, Harvard has about 2,400 faculty members and about 6,700 undergraduate students
Last May the institution appeared on a US government list of 55 institutions which had allegedly mishandled harassment complaints.
In an email, Alison Johnson, a history professor who led the committee which helped revise the guidelines, told the Associated Press news agency: "We wanted to emphasize that the central characteristic of any relationship between a professor and an undergraduate in the College should be pedagogical."bbc

This ban need to be introduced in Nigeria, the way these old lecturers and professor target their prey is annoying. They would fail u, just to get to eat the bottom belle, give an emergency test when your not in class to make u come begging.
ReplyDeleteYou joking right??? Even if they do that it'll never stand, this is Nigeria come on!
DeleteThis seem right in a way cos some lecturers and profs can be so mean. Then again its ok cos this will make students who gain favour from such lecturers/profs to sit-up. I wish its done here
ReplyDeleteWhat if its done secretly?
good. i hope the students will put their heads down and read their book instead of looking for cheap marks
ReplyDeleteWow. This is what I call professionalism.
ReplyDeleteWhatever
ReplyDeleteDem no go fit do. Those that make the law will be the first to break it.

Nigerians are twofaced bitches and pretenders!!!
Wow,so dis shit is done too in Harvard!lol
ReplyDeleteGOD abeg they should do this in nigeria starting from uniport
ReplyDeleteIf the Prof and student are not in the same Faculty or Dept, how does power dynamics come in???
ReplyDeleteIn any case, is the University not the best place to learn how to identify and manage it for the students? Will power dynamics disappear in the real world when they start work?

DeleteI don't know. This looks ethical to me but then we are talking about adults here. If it's consensual then why not.
ReplyDeleteNow, the kind of relationship that should exist between students and academic staff should be strictly business.
ReplyDeleteUnnecessary familiarity is not healthy.
Everyone should focus on their primary concern.
This is where ethics comes in.
