What sources of support are there for a faculty member who’s in a relationship with a student that he (or she) must disclose, according to the policy, but who wants to seek some advice first?
As an interim step, the faculty member may consult with a faculty ombuds: School/College Ombuds [http://www.umich.edu/~facombud/omblst.html] Central Faculty Ombuds [http://www.umich.edu/~facombud/index.htm] However, consulting with an Ombuds doesn’t relieve the faculty member of his or her responsibility to disclose the relationship to you, as department Chair, or to an appropriate administrator at a higher level (e.g., an associate dean, dean, or director). 27. If, as department Chair, I need to disclose a conflict that exists because I have entered into a romantic and/or sexual relationship with a student over whom I have supervisory responsibility, to whom should I disclose the conflict? You must disclose the conflict to the appropriate person in the dean’s office.
