Guidelines for Ethical Engagement with Students
The Ohio University College of Business values strong partnerships with alumni and employer partners. These guidelines ensure a safe, equitable, and professional environment for students and align with the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) ethical standards and industry best practices.
- Non-Discrimination: Provide fair access to opportunities for all students. Do not discriminate based on protected characteristics, including:
- Age, ancestry, color, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity or expression, genetic information, military service or veteran status, national origin, pregnancy, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, status as a parent or foster parent, or any other basis under the law
- Professionalism and Boundaries: Maintain appropriate, professional relationships with students always. Avoid any conduct that could be perceived as exploitative, illegal, unsafe, or unethical.
- Safe and Respectful Engagement: Ensure all interactions—whether in person or virtual—are respectful and free from harassment, intimidation, or coercion.
- Transparency in Opportunities: Clearly communicate job responsibilities, compensation, and timelines. Represent opportunities honestly and avoid misleading information.
- Fair Recruitment Practices: Allow reasonable time for students to consider offers. Do not pressure students with short deadlines or 'exploding offers.'
- Compensation and Learning Value: Ensure internships comply with labor laws and provide meaningful learning experiences. Clearly disclose whether roles are paid or unpaid.
- Privacy and Data Protection: Protect student information and use it only for intended professional purposes.
- Prohibited Behaviors: Discrimination, harassment, coercion, misrepresentation, relationships that interfere with workplace professionalism, objectivity, or safety, and unauthorized use of student data.
