Sexual relationships between employees and Kalamazoo College students are unacceptable and constitute personal and professional misconduct. Such actions may be considered adequate cause for faculty termination under the Plan of Employment of the Board of Trustees and for termination of employment of a staff member. Intimate or sexual relationships where there is an inherent power or authority differential produce risks to the campus community and undermine the authority of those in supervisory roles. An exception may be made for a personal relationship that was established prior to employment and was disclosed to Human Resources at the time of hire.
