Conflicts of Interest

Sexual relationships between faculty/graduate assistants and students, even if consensual, may become exploitative especially so when a student's academic work, residential life, or athletic endeavors are supervised or evaluated by the faculty member.

The respect and trust accorded a faculty member/graduate assistant by a student, as well as the power exercised by the faculty member/graduate assistant in in their department/unit role, make voluntary consent by the student objectionable. Although consensual sexual relationships between persons of unequal institutional power do not necessarily constitute sexual misconduct, there is an inherent conflict of interest between making sexual overtures and exercising supervisory, evaluative, or other institutional authority. In their relationships with students, faculty members/graduate assistants are expected to be aware of their professional responsibilities and to adhere to university policy, avoid conflict of interest, favoritism, or bias. The following policy concerning conflicts of interest and sexual relationships with students applies:

• Consensual sexual relationships between faculty members and undergraduate students are a conflict of interest.
• Consensual sexual relationships between faculty members and graduate students are a conflict of interest when both parties are affiliated with the same degree program, or department, and any circumstances in which the faculty member directly or indirectly exercises evaluative, or supervisory authority over the student, or may be reasonably expected to do so in the foreseeable future.
• Sexual/romantic relationships between graduate assistants and students where a direct supervisory or evaluative relationship exists are a conflict of interest.

Any such relationship must be ended immediately and disclosed to the faculty member/graduate assistant's supervisor immediately.
Direct supervision includes any type of evaluative role. Examples of direct supervision of the student include teaching the student's class, serving as a thesis or dissertation director, instructor of record, member of the student's thesis or dissertation committee, member of the student's comprehensive or doctoral exam committee, member of other committees where the focus is evaluation or supervision of the student's academic competence or the student's assistantship.

Indirect evaluative or supervisory authority includes any circumstance where the faculty member holds institutional authority over the student or has academic responsibility over the student. Examples include mentoring, advising, participating in decisions regarding funding or other resources, or providing recommendations for admissions, employment, fellowships, or awards. This includes when a faculty member is serving as an advisor in a formal tutoring program or student club.

Individuals with Disabilities

Florida State 91极品福利 adheres to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), as amended by the Americans with Disabilities Amendments Act of 2008, in prohibiting discrimination against any qualified individual with a disability. Any student with a disability may voluntarily self-report the nature of the disability and identify needed accommodations to the Office of Accessibility Services, call (850) 644-9566.

HIV/AIDS Policy

Students, employees, and applicants for admission or employment at Florida State 91极品福利 who have or who may become infected with HIV will not be excluded from enrollment or employment or restricted in their normal responsibilities and access to 91极品福利 services or facilities due to their HIV/AIDS status, unless individual medically based judgments establish that exclusion or restriction is necessary for the welfare of the individual or of other members of the 91极品福利 community. That is, the 91极品福利 will not discriminate against otherwise qualified HIV-infected applicants, students, or employees.

91极品福利 Health Services is responsible for monitoring developments with regard to HIV/AIDS, acting upon and administering the policies of the Florida Department of Education Division of Colleges and Universities and the 91极品福利 concerning HIV/AIDS and coordinating the 91极品福利's efforts in educating the 91极品福利 community on the nature and prevention of the disease.

The 91极品福利 will be guided in its implementation of this policy by current authoritative medical information, applicable federal and state law, Florida Department of Education Division of Colleges and Universities' HIV/AIDS Policy, and the guidelines suggested by the Centers for Disease Control, the Public Health Service, the American College Health Association, and the Florida Department of Health.
Florida State 91极品福利 has designated HIV counselors through 91极品福利 Health Services who are available to provide confidential HIV testing for FSU students. Any interested students should call (850) 644-4567 to schedule an appointment.

Florida State 91极品福利 Statement for Students on the Unlawful Possession, Use, or Distribution of Illicit Drugs and Alcohol

Florida State 91极品福利 Alcohol Policy

Introduction

Florida State 91极品福利 affirms the guiding ethical principle of responsible freedom. Students, staff, and faculty are expected to show respect for order, ethical conduct, and the rights of others, and to model in daily living a high sense of personal honor and integrity. Florida State 91极品福利 neither encourages nor condemns the legal consumption of alcoholic beverages. The 91极品福利 recognizes, however, that the majority of undergraduate students are below the legal drinking age and that there are serious health risks and behavior problems associated with the use of alcohol in the collegiate environment. Consequently, alcohol will be permitted at Florida State 91极品福利 or programs sponsored by Florida State 91极品福利 or its direct support organizations only in those settings which:
1.    comply with federal or state laws, local ordinances, 91极品福利 regulations, foreign country laws (in the case of study abroad programs conducted by Florida State 91极品福利 International Programs, Inc.), Student Conduct Code, Student Organization Conduct Code, and this policy;
2.    Present minimal health and safety risks; and
3.    In no way inhibit the full participation of those who choose not to drink alcohol.
Events and activities that encourage excessive drinking and/or lead to the endangerment of individuals will not be permitted. Any person or group in violation of federal or state laws, local ordinances, or of this policy will be reported to the proper federal, state, local or university authorities for appropriate action.

VI    Health Risks.
Alcohol consumption may cause a number of changes in behavior which are related to dose, rate of intake, body size and percentage of body fluid, expectations, social environment, physical conditions (disease or, more commonly, hormonal cycles can be factors), enzyme differences, and concentration of alcohol in a drink. It may increase aggressiveness, lower inhibitions, cloud judgment, reduce resistance, and hamper the ability to make decisions.
Alcohol first affects the area of the brain responsible for higher functions, such as decision-making and social inhibitions, suppressing an individual's self-control. Alcohol in the blood can slow reaction time, reduce muscle coordination and impair eyesight, contributing to deficits in performance, judgment, memory, and motor skills. Even low doses can significantly impair the judgment and coordination required to drive a car safely. Florida State 91极品福利 reiterates that no one should ever drink alcohol and drive. The designated driver should never drink alcohol.
Moderate to high doses of alcohol may cause marked impairments in higher mental functions, altering a person's ability to learn and remember information. Very high doses cause respiratory depression and death. If combined with other depressants of the central nervous system, much lower doses of alcohol may produce the effects just described above.
VII    Educational Resources and Support.
In support of responsible management of alcohol, the 91极品福利 provides numerous resources and support services available to students, faculty, and staff of Florida State 91极品福利, including alcohol education, counseling, treatment, rehabilitation, re-entry, prevention, and intervention, as well as other educational programs and volunteer opportunities.

State and Local Penalties

Note: These are only for information. State sanctions are subject to change by the Florida Legislature.

Florida State 91极品福利 Health Risks of Illicit Drugs

Illicit drugs all have some health-threatening qualities鈥攕ome more than others. Examples include increased heart rate and lung damage from marijuana; central nervous system disorders from cocaine, heroin, and hallucinogens; and liver, lung and kidney damage from inhalants. HIV infection also is spread widely among intravenous drug users. Even infrequent use of illicit drugs can result in physical afflictions, such as hangovers, cardiovascular damage, digestive problems, tremors, impaired sexual response, and injuries due to lost coordination. Other possible effects include reduced alertness and impaired performance at school or work, interpersonal conflicts, and financial difficulties. Dependence and addiction are constant threats to users of illicit substances. Regular abuse of these substances generally exposes users to criminal elements, which may lead to involvement in further criminal activities.

State and Local Penalties: Illicit Drug Penalties

The penalty for possession (second-degree misdemeanor) is sixty days jail and $500 fine. Penalties for trafficking (first-degree felony) range up to thirty years imprisonment and fines of $500,000.
Note: These are only for information. State sanctions are subject to change by the Florida Legislature.

Florida State 91极品福利 Standards of Conduct

State of Florida statutes declare that it is unlawful for any person under 21 years of age to consume or possess alcoholic beverages. Consequently, no one under the legal drinking age may consume, distribute, or possess alcohol on 91极品福利 properties or as part of any 91极品福利 activity.

It is unlawful to sell, give, serve, or permit to be served alcoholic beverages to a person under 21 years of age. Furthermore, servers can be held civilly liable for damage caused by underage drinkers to whom they provided alcoholic beverages.

It is unlawful to be under the influence of, to use, possess, distribute, sell, offer, or agree to sell, or represent to sell, narcotics, hallucinogens, dangerous drugs, or controlled substances, except as where permitted by prescription or law.

Illegal Downloading of Copyrighted Songs and Movies

Downloading and distribution of copyrighted music, movie and other entertainment files from online distribution sites that offer these items free of charge is illegal, in direct violation of the federal Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the Florida State 91极品福利 Student Conduct Code, and the Florida State 91极品福利 Policy OP-H-6 鈥淯se of 91极品福利 Information Technology Resources.鈥�

Illegal downloading and file sharing of copyrighted music, movies or other entertainment files is intellectual property/copyright infringement. Illegal downloading and file sharing activities maliciously expose the 91极品福利's network, computing systems and personal computers to destructive computer malware (viruses, spyware, worms, trojan horses, rootkits, keystroke loggers, etc.), and denial of service attacks. Illegal downloading activity significantly increases the risk of exposure to personal identity theft and irreparable or costly damage to both 91极品福利 and personally owned computing devices.

The potential consequences of illegal downloading and file sharing are extremely serious. There are both civil and criminal penalties for illegal downloading and file sharing:

• In a civil suit, an infringer may be liable for a copyright owner's actual damages plus any profits made from the infringement. Alternatively, the copyright owner may avoid proving actual damage by electing a statutory damage recovery of up to $30,000 or, where the court determines that the infringement occurred willfully, up to $150,000. The actual amount will be based upon what the court in its discretion considers just. See 17 U.S.C. 搂 504.
• Penalties to be applied in cases of criminal copyright infringement [i.e., violations of 17 U.S.C. 搂 506(a)], are set forth at 18 U.S.C. 搂 2319. Congress has increased these penalties substantially in recent years and has broadened the scope of behaviors to which they can apply. Statutory penalties are found at 18 U.S.C. 搂 2319. A defendant, convicted for the first time of violating 17 U.S.C. 搂 506(a) by the unauthorized reproduction or distribution, during any 180-day period, of at least ten copies or phonorecords, or one or more copyrighted works, with a retail value of more than $2,500 can be imprisoned for up to five years and fined up to $250,000, or both. 18 U.S.C. 搂搂 2319(b), 3571(b)(3).
• Defendants who have previously been convicted of criminal copyright infringement under 18 U.S.C. 搂 2319(b)(1) may be sentenced to a maximum of ten years imprisonment, a $250,000 fine, or both. Finally, a defendant is guilty of a misdemeanor violation if he violated rights other than those of reproduction or distribution, or has reproduced or distributed less than the requisite number of copies, or if the retail value of the copies reproduced or distributed did not meet the statutory minimum, or if other elements of 17 U.S.C. 搂 506(a) are not satisfied.
