Comments from those who support CRP-A:

Faculty and grad/professional student relationship put the university at risk for potential harassment lawsuits. These relationships can also make others in the unit uncomfortable. If these relationships must be allowed, there should at least be disclosure.

Romantic relationships between faculty and students can create toxic environments for the people around them. It also can foster an abuse of power.

I do not think faculty or individuals with authority should be able to date or have intimate relationships with grad students in the same field. The possibility of abuse of authority in the event that a relationship is not healthy puts the student in jeopardy professionally as much as personally.

CPR-A provides more protection for our students and university without having a negative impact on faculty.

Comments from those who support CRP-B:

Relationships between grad/fac should be requiring disclosure

I felt this was the more equitable and realistic option.

I chose B because I don’t think it feasible to tell graduate students and faculty intheir field who they can or cannot have a relationship with.

Important to give some flexibility to adults to allow for ethical and open conversationif issues come up rather than just banning contact.

Because banning a relationship (CRP-A) does not work.

I think it is more realistic to ask parties to disclose relationships than to enforce a means to prohibit them.
