Policies
Until further notice Babson will continue to use its Title IX Policy (Effective August 14, 2020, and as last amended) and Gender-Based Misconduct Policies to address complaints regarding sex-based discrimination or harassment and gender-based misconduct that constitute prohibited conduct under the scope of those policies. Babson also may address reports of alleged discrimination under other applicable College policies.
Consistent with Babson’s community values and Massachusetts law, the College prohibits discrimination and harassment based on sex, gender-identity, and sexual orientation, and will respond to reported concerns about alleged discrimination in an equitable and thoughtful manner.
Babson community members who have questions regarding Title IX or who have information or concerns regarding potential sex-based discrimination or harassment impacting College programs or activities are encouraged to contact Babson’s Title IX Coordinator, Betsy Rauch.
Any Babson College faculty member or other Babson community member who has academic responsibility towards students (as defined in section 6.2.4 of the Faculty Handbook), is strictly prohibited from engaging in romantic or sexual relationships with any currently enrolled Babson College student—even if both parties in the relationship believe the relationship is consensual, and even if the non-student community member does not teach, evaluate or advise the student now or intend to do so in the future. Such romantic or sexual relationships violate both section 6.2.4 of the Faculty Handbook and Babson’s Gender-Based Misconduct Policy for Faculty, Staff and Affiliated Persons.
Babson College non-student community members who do not have academic responsibility towards students, but whose job duties or responsibilities include advising, coaching, mentoring, or evaluating students, or who are responsible for students’ physical or emotional well-being, are also strictly prohibited from engaging in romantic or sexual relationships with any currently enrolled Babson College students.
Non-student community members who serve in other roles at the College are strongly discouraged from engaging in romantic or sexual relationships with currently enrolled Babson students, as they may be found responsible for violating College policy if their conduct creates a hostile environment related to sex for any member of the Babson community.
