SCENARIOS

The Chair (Duncan) is contacted by two graduate students who allege a faculty member (Patrice) is disrespectful to them in front of others. Patrice allegedly tells the graduate students, and others, on a regular basis that they won’t “make it in this field.” Additionally, Patrice has reportedly told the graduate students “you need my recommendation to get anywhere… so just remember that I own you.” Based on some past reports, Duncan is inclined to believe that the graduate student’s complaints have some merit.

To further complicate matters, Patrice is very well respected within your field (grants and publications) and seen as an emerging leader by many within the university.

Scenario

It is reported to you that an undergraduate student has made a complaint that a graduate student in your program has been “stalking” the student. The graduate student is scheduled to be a Teaching Assistant for that student’s class in the upcoming quarter.




A student emails saying they missed class because they are having a crisis and are so overwhelmed they can’t get out of bed. In the email they say “I have never felt this bad before and the only way I can see this getting any better is if I’m dead.”

Health & Wellness Scenario


ScenarioChair reported that 5 persons have expressed concern for their safety due to a post-doc’s periodic belligerent accusations about being treated unfairly, being disrespected, and excessive alcohol consumption. The post-doc is under investigation for scientific misconduct. Everyone is worried about how he will react to increasing professional pressure.

Our Chair (Greta) has a valuable professional opportunity that she would like to extend to a junior faculty member (Ted). The opportunity is an administrative role that would allow Ted to broaden his leadership experience and heighten his profile within the department. Greta is concerned that this decision may be seen as biased by other faculty members as Ted was among the first hires she made after becoming Chair and they have collaborated on several research projects.

To further complicate matters, Greta does not want this opportunity to go to a long-time Faculty Member (Marty) who by force of personality and history in the department has taken on an oversized role in all of the department’s decisions. If Ted is going to be successful, he will need to work closely with Marty.
