murder.</FONT></DIV>

info, Ron. This is the policy I remember from my UI days. It makes
me shake my head in wonderment that Bruce Pitman chose to sanitize the rules for

inaccurate statement suggests that the University of Idaho cranked up the
propaganda machine and that the ever ready magic cover–up dust was drifting
through the air as soon as these sad events developed. This tragedy raises
many questions. How is it that Dr. Bustamonte’s colleagues, all of whom
are professionally trained and well acquainted with <A

to recognize and initiate an intervention that might have prevented outcome? How
is it that student evaluations (many of whom may have commented on the erratic
behavior of their instructor) were apparently ignored? The department is
not so large that romantic entanglements could have escaped the notice of other
students, staff, and faculty. Did his colleagues treat his behavior, which
was not limited to a <A

<P class=MsoNormal>Here's the UI's official policy. Some years ago the
administration wanted an outright ban, but it couldn't pass Faculty
Council. It followed another messy incident that fortunately didn't lead
to homicide.<BR><BR>Consensual Romantic or Sexual
Relationships<BR><BR>Faculty-Student Relationships<BR>Because the
relationship between faculty members and students is central to the
academic mission of the University of Idaho, it is essential to establish
that the standard of expected conduct in a relationship between any
faculty member and a student of that faculty member goes beyond the
proscription of sexual harassment as defined in section 3220 of the
“Faculty-Staff Handbook.” Consensual romantic or sexual relationships
should not be allowed to interfere with the academic integrity of the
faculty-student relationship.<BR><BR>In the university's view, the
faculty-student relationship is comparable to that of other professionals
and their clients. Codes of ethics for most professional associations
forbid professional-client sexual relationships. On this basis, a
consensual romantic or sexual relationship between any faculty member and
his or her student, while not expressly forbidden, is generally deemed
unwise.<BR><BR>Relationships that may appear to be consensual, even to the
parties involved, are influenced by the position of authority held by the
faculty member that is inherent to the faculty-student relationship.
<BR><BR>It is generally deemed equally unwise for a student to enter into
a consensual romantic or sexual relationship with his or her
professor.<BR><BR>Supervisor-Subordinate Relationships<BR>Similarly,
consensual romantic or sexual relationships between a supervisor and his
or her subordinates in the work place are generally considered to be
unwise. Supervisory relationships include, but are not limited to, those
between an administrator, coach, adviser, program director, counselor,
teaching assistant, or residential staff member and his or her
subordinates.<BR><BR>If you have a question about this policy or feel you
are a victim of sexual harassment, please call the Director of Human
Rights, Access and Inclusion,
885-4212. <o:p></o:p></P></DIV></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
