Accordingly , instructional staff members are reminded that, according to the Faculty Manual , they must refrain from engaging in any romantic or sexual relations with students over whom they have academic or supervisory control. An administrator who has knowledge of such a relationship must immediately report the relationship to the provost who shall review the matter and take such action as necessary and appropriate to eliminate the academic or supervisory control exercised by the instructional staff member.

We reviewed the faculty committees first and updated committee assignments, adjusted memberships, eliminated some committees, and changed rules for membership. The language in the Faculty Manual was revised by a subcommittee.
