the student's class work, which
would avoid tin* possibility of a con
flit.1 of interest. Lehrman said. This is
similar to the University of
Wisconsin's policy, one task force
members are looking to fashion the
University policy after
“It's not a ban; it's hash ally a
reporting requirement,” he said
Professor-student dating boils down
to an issue of power lee nose the pro
fessor has ultimate control of a stu
dent's grade. Lehrman said
Therefore, the committee's goal is to
develop a policy that would avoid
conflicts of interest, and that would
he fair to the other students in the
class
Lehrman said a major need for the
policy is to protect the student
“The student may want out of the
relationship but she's afraid of the
power the professor has over her;
may lie there's still the mid term to go
or her dissertation review," he Mid
A committee that would evaluate
the student'* work would alleviate
any pressure to stay in the relation
ship if he or she wanted out. and it
also decrease* the prospect of grade
retaliation. Lehrman said.
'Hie policy would also aim to pro
lix t profes*ors‘ rights, I>ohrman said
"Tile rule would try to protect both
parties," he said- "Before they get
entangled in a relationship, we'li dis
entangle it now
There will he a sanction for faculty
me tubers who fail to report relation
ships with students, nr said For
example, if a student files a sexual
harassment t laim against a professor
he or she was involved with, the bur
den of responsibility for proving the
relationship was consensual would
fall on the professor
This would make i» easier to prove
sexual harassment." he viid
He also said letters of reprimand,
whit h would likely go into a proles
sor's personnel file, are possible if a
fnculty mom tier fails to inform the
department head of a relationship
Committee members said they hojMi
to present one or more proposals for a
policy by the end of the summer
However, a policy wouldn't be
accepted until there is substantial
public discussion first. Icshrman said
Lehrman and other task force mem
bers have liegun meeting with some
student groups to gather input on the
issue, and he said he plans to meet
with many more students before the
group proposes the models
"This is an institution of shared
governance, so we want to give stu
dents n chance to give their input." he
said
If University President Dave
Krohnmayer agrees that there is a
ui'imI foil sin h .1 jhiIh v. the issue
would then likely go to the University
Senate for discussion and a vote
However, lie fore it became an Oregon
Administrative Rule, there would
have to a public hearing. Lehrman
said

research, but considers his role
as a teacher important as well
"I think of myself as a teai her
who likes doing research also."
Wanta said
Wanta also serves on the edi
torial boards of three academic
journals. This gives him the
opportunity to critique the work
of others, he said.
VVanta believes service like
this is important to his work, but
says it is often overlooked when

from promotional committees

would ret eive the Krieghbaum

The award places Wanta in
the same i ategorv as some of the
top journalists in the nation,

of amazing people in our field."
Wanta said. ”1 really had no
expectation of winning this

But Wanta refuses to take lull
credit for his success, attributing
his colleagues with giving him
the support he needed to excel,
he said
"You don't win an award like
this without someone helping
you along," he said.
Now that VVanta has won the
award, he feels as if he must live
up to a new standard, he said
”1 feel like there are expec ta
lions now I need to go to the
next level of research," he said.
