Humber’s Human Rights Policy & Faculty/Student Relationships

The integrity of the faculty/student relationship is a key foundation of Humber College’s educational mission. This relationship confers significant trust in the faculty member, who, in turn, assumes authority and accountability as an educator, evaluator, coach and mentor.

Humber’s Human Rights Policy instructs that the pedagogical relationship between faculty member and student must be protected from influences or activities that can interfere with learning consistent with the goals and ideals of the College.

Provided below is an overview of Humber’s position on faculty/student relationships as outlined in section three (3), page three (3) of Humber’s Human Rights Policy:

• The pedagogical relationship between faculty member and student must be protected from influences or activities that can interfere with learning consistent with the goals and ideals of the College. All such relationship jeopardizes the integrity of the educational process. Whenever a faculty member is responsible for academic supervision of a student, a personal relationship between them of a romantic or sexual nature, even if consensual, is inappropriate.
• Any sexual or romantic relations between a teacher and a student during the period of the teacher/student relationship are prohibited. The prohibition extends to sexual relations between a student and all others who have supervisory academic responsibility for that student.
• All complaints of sexual harassment will lead to a formal investigation. Faculty members found in violation of this prohibition will be terminated.
