Clearly communicate to the student that you are not interested in having an inappropriate classroom relationship with him/her. Tell him/her to stop the inappropriate communication. If you must meet with the student in your office keep the door open and have a responsible third party present. Report and document the situation to your supervisor. Explain that if the behavior continues, the incident will be reported as sexual harassment. If inappropriate communication continues, contact the Dean of Students Office to report sexual harassment
