• A coach or athletic staff and any student- athlete or student with a working function in the athletics department, including graduate assistants.
• A faculty member and a student who is enrolled in the faculty member’s course or otherwise under the supervision of the faculty member.
• A supervisor and a supervisee regardless of whether the supervisory relationship is direct or indirect, unless the supervisor discloses the relationship to the Office of Human Resources in advance and a management plan is in effect.
For concerns related to the Consensual Re- lationships Policy, please contact the Equal Opportunity Office at 915.747.5662. You may access the full Consensual Relationships Policy in the Handbook of Operating Procedures under Section VI, Chapter 4, www.utep.edu/hoop.
