Issued May 22, 2018
.010Introduction
Kansas State 1xbet online games login promotes an atmosphere of professionalism based on mutual trust and respect. The integrity of interaction among faculty, staff and students must not be compromised. When a 1xbet online games login employee is in a position of direct supervisory or evaluative authority over a student, and the employee and student are also involved in a consensual romantic relationship, there is a potential for a conflict of interest, favoritism or exploitation. Moreover, such relationships may lead to restricted opportunities, or the perception thereof, for others in the academic environment. In addition, when such relationships decline or end, there is an increased potential for various complaints.
Consensual romantic relationships between employees are governed by the University's Nepotism and Employee Relationships 1xbet online games login (PPM 4095). The University's 1xbet online games login Prohibiting Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Harassment (PPM 3010) governs any conduct involving nonconsensual, unwelcome sexual conduct by an individual in either the academic or employment environment, and any other conduct constituting discrimination, harassment, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking, as those terms are defined in that 1xbet online games login .
