Roles & Relationships

The principles that underlie guidelines for Institute roles and relationships are open communication and respect.

Graduate students and the other members of the MIT community share responsibility for adhering to these principles, and for embracing MIT’s values. Graduate students are expected to follow policies on academic integrity and conflict of interest.

Additionally, all members of the Institute community should be aware that MIT has a comprehensive policy regarding consensual sexual or romantic relationships in the workplace or academic environment.

Students and faculty are encouraged to manage conflicts and seek assistance through a variety of MIT resources and offices. You can also go to ask.mit.edu can to identify others.
