"...Ms. Admon has agreed to remove herself from participating in any and all decisions that may reward or penalize Mr. O'Connor. Both Ms. Admon and Mr. O'Connor agree to adhere to the above outlined understandings as a "management plan" regarding their relationship.
Mr. O'Connor, however, was assigned a graduate assistantship in the EPLS computer research lab for the 2007-08 academic year. Ms. Admon has assigned duties as supervisor of the graduate assistants in the lab. Thus, a potential conflict of positions was eminent with the coming of the next school year.
It has been determined that Mr. O'Connor will be removed as a graduate assistant in the lab and reassigned by the DEO to a nonconflicting assistantship. (...)"

...sometimes I'm really embarrassed to be an American.
At least they didn't make him transfer to Northeastern Iowa State.
Oh no, it's not that bad. We both understand why the department has to do this. Though it's not a position in which I'm writing evaluations, and though the term renewal for assistants is automatic, I'm still in position to fire him.
And they're considering you for a tenure track position, but don't consider you professional enough to separate out the personal and work lives?
they probably just want to avoid being sued in the future, cmone, it's america!
--glad things sorted out.
Yep, I figured this was coming. It's standard on every campus...no big deal...but I have been on committees with some really bizarre grievances- believe me- the university has to protect itself from love inspired madness. Too bad Ry-O couldn't stay in the lab, though. I mean, lab slave... sex slave...it's all the same... Currently writing from a cybercafe in Boca Grande...don't have a phone and I'm getting kinda used to this life of hammocks, open seas, and frosty beverages in coconuts...
Hi Noga and R,
Too bad I missed you in NY. I am back from the the SLC to EU journey. Lot's of stories from the roads of Europe.
The management plan is quite complicated... that's a result of having too many lawyers and too few humans working in administration... LOL
