At Capital College of the Arts, Management and Technology, we recognize that consensual romantic or sexual relationships between individuals in positions of unequal authority can significantly impact the dynamics of our work, academic, and research environments.
These relationships, due to the inherent power imbalance, can raise legitimate concerns about the validity of consent, the perceived or actual favoritism, and the fairness and objectivity of professional interactions.Â
The individual in the position of greater authority or power may influence (consciously or unconsciously) the career or academic advancement of the student or subordinate, which can lead to a multitude of issues, including potential claims of sexual harassment.
Our Non-Fraternization Policy is designed to prevent such situations, ensuring that all members of our community are treated with respect and fairness, and that their experiences at Capital College are not compromised by conflicts of interest or abuses of power.
