People seem not to connect that sports, teaching, etc. things in the education-oriented workplace are all largely the same rulesets as any other business out there. There's reasons why my manager can't also be the direct manager of his wife and/or kid. They also can't manage someone they are romantically involved with in about any context.
Same applies here. And you definitely can't try to instruct people to cover it up in any case.
This is exactly why any company has strict policies about this sort of thing. A manager sleeps with an employee? Nothing illegal, but both individuals could get fired (sadly, if the manager is a man, too often it gets swept under the run.
A manager and employee hit it off and want a relationship? Talk to HR and as long as they move into jobs where one person does not have authority over the other person, no big deal.
The strict policies are an acknowledgment of a risk of a lawsuit, nothing more. Whether these lawsuits have merit is a reflection of societal palate. And in such an era of leaning towards infantilization on such matters, even the most frivolous will be costly. Additionally, if the subordinate is male, it’s statistically far less likely to cost the company, and thus far more likely to be swept under the rug, not viewed as an abuse of power.
Nobody tries to cover up what is legit, which proves that the relationship was a violation and that the people in authority are to blame. That includes the coach, a married man in his late 30's, boinking a much younger woman - who got dismissed from the team, might I add, for "violating university policy".
Right-o.
There is zero, I mean zero way a coach in a relationship with a player is okay and I PROMISE he was trained that it’s not.
If he wanted to have a relationship with the player he should have resigned.
I’ve gone through training about how it would open you up to lawsuits… and that was in referee training.
Former player who was dismissed from the team is suing the University, former AD Alberts, and present woman’s coach Amy Williams. Seems an an Asst coach was having sexual relations with her, they told him to deny everything. His lawyer just stated that the allegations were true!
Oh look, I found a viewpoint from the opposite extreme of the spectrum: https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/jpm...own-boy-indian-threatened-his-career-11430816

I believe a ton of relationships are based on this very fact. One member of the relationship is in control over the other. I also said many times on this exact thread that it is not right. You are trying to start an argument here on something that I have already stated. I was asking was the law was on this subject and what the basis for the lawsuit would be.
