Here's UCO's policy, as stated in the Faculty Handbook.   Sorry, it didn't copy all that cleanly.

3.8 RELATIVES AS STUDENTS
As a matter of sound judgment and professional ethics, faculty members have a responsibility to avoid any
apparent or actual conflict between their professional responsibilities and
personal interests. It is the responsibility of faculty members to avoid being placed in a position of
authority - by virtue of their specific immediate family members or relatives such as nephew and
niece.
3-12
Version 2015/16
Relatives that are within the third degree of relationship to an employee by blood or marriage
are as follows: spouse, parent; grandparent; great-grandparents; parent, grandparent or great-
grandparent of spouse; uncle or aunt; uncle or aunt of spouse; brother or sister; son or daughter;
son-in-law or daughter-in-law; grandson or granddaughter or their spouse; and great-grandson or
great-granddaughter or their spouse. Relative also includes individuals involved in a close per-
sonal relationship that might affect the objectivity of each partner toward the other, e.g. "significant
others," cohabitants or domestic partners. These professional constraints are necessary in order to
ensure that the evaluation of students is conducted fairly and without any perception
of favoritism
or bias.
(
Section 5.12 RUSO
)
.
If a relative becomes a student, the following process must be followed:
a. Notify the chair/school director of the department/school that a relative is
enrolled in the class, is an RA/TA, or student worker. Present a plan for
evaluation of the student that will avoid conflict of interest and reduce the
perception of favoritism.
b. The chair/school director will review the evaluation plan and if approved,
notify the dean.
c. If the plan is not approved, the chair/school director will work with the
faculty member to modify the plan and notify the dean

Hello All!

How many of you have a policy prohibiting students to take courses taught by a parent?

Thanks,
