Policies and Other Important Information<br>

Student Mistreatment Guidelines for Conduct in Teacher/Learner Relationships (Student Handbook http://sc.edu/study/colleges_schools/medicine_greenville/docs/studenthandbook.pdf and the Faculty Handbook http://greenvillemed.sc.edu/Faculty_Handbook.shtml)
Identifies responsibility of teachers and learners
Describes inappropriate and unacceptable behaviors as those which demonstrate disrespect for others or lack of professionalism in interpersonal conduct
Retaliation for reporting mistreatment is unacceptable and is not tolerated.
The School’s Ombudsman is empowered to receive and investigate reports of mistreatment in a confidential manner, to mediate, and to make recommendations<br>

Responsibilities of Teachers Treat all learners with respect and fairness.
Treat all learners equally regardless of age, gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, or sexual orientation.
Provide current material in an effective format for learning.
Be prepared and punctual for didactic, investigational, and clinical encounters and prompt in responding to requests and questions from students.
Provide timely feedback with constructive suggestions and opportunities for improvement/remediation when needed.<br>

Responsibilities of Teachers Practice insightful (Socratic) questioning, which stimulates learning and self-discovery and avoid overly aggressive questioning which may be perceived as hurtful, humiliating, degrading or punitive.
Encourage students who experience mistreatment or who witness unprofessional behavior to report the facts immediately.
Demonstrate respect and professionalism toward other members of the faculty in developing and delivering an integrated curriculum.<br>

Inappropriate Behaviors for the Teacher-Learner Relationship Unwanted physical contact (e.g., hitting, slapping, kicking, pushing) or the threat of the same.
Sexual harassment (including romantic relationships between teachers and learners in which the teacher has authority over the learner’s academic progress) or harassment based on age, gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, or sexual orientation.
Loss of personal civility including shouting, personal attacks, insults or bullying, displays of temper (such as throwing objects), use of culturally insensitive language.
Discrimination of any form including in teaching and assessment based upon age, gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, or sexual orientation.
Requests for another to perform inappropriate personal errands unrelated to the didactic, investigational, or clinical situation at hand.
Grading/evaluation on factors unrelated to performance, effort, or level of achievement.<br>

The Family and Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) FERPA pertains to school records, including grades, student ID numbers, course schedule, records of disciplinary actions, and so forth. Exempt from FERPA regulations is information considered “directory information” by the University (e.g., name, email address, “Class of ___” status, photo, etc.).
Information maintained by an individual faculty member is not considered school records unless it overlaps with official school records (e.g., grades, disciplinary actions). So, records of personal observations or opinions that are not shared with others, as well as communications with students that do not include protected information, are not regulated by FERPA.
Unless the student provides written permission, access to FERPA-protected information is only allowed to those (employees) who have a “legitimate educational interest” in the specific information being shared.<br>

Responsibilities of Students Recognize the privileges and responsibilities coming from the opportunity to work with patients in clinical settings.
Treat all fellow learners and teachers with respect and fairness, equally regardless of age, gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, or sexual orientation.
Be prepared and on time for didactic, investigational, and clinical encounters.
Commit the time and energy necessary to achieve the goals and objectives of each course.
Recognize personal limitations and seek help as needed.<br>

Responsibilities of Students Communicate concerns/suggestions about the curriculum, didactic methods, teachers, or the learning environment in a respectful, professional manner.
Develop a lifelong learner’s perspective and take ownership of their own learning process and anticipate long-term needs for knowledge, skills, attitudes and behavior.
When experiencing mistreatment or witnessing unprofessional behavior, report the facts immediately, and encourage other students with such experiences to do the same.
Solicit feedback on their performance and recognize that criticism is not synonymous with “abuse.”<br>
