RA Confidentiality Agreement

As an RA, you are obligated to maintain the highest standard of confidentiality. Confidentiality applies not only to information regarding student-related issues, but to everything regarding your position as an RA. This includes talking about the requirements or dynamics of your job as an RA, details pertaining to group trips or meetings, information regarding your working relationship with the other RAs, information regarding your working relationship with the program staff/administration, etc. This agreement goes beyond even beyond the terms of your employment as an R.A. If you fail to maintain confidentiality after your tenure as an R.A. in our program, or after termination or suspension from an R.A. position, you will be subject to disciplinary action that may result in your dismissal from our program or suspension from the university. 

If you are suspected of breaching confidentiality, the program Director and pertinent on campus authorities (public safety and the student disciplinary committee) will conduct an investigation. If it is more likely than not that the terms of your confidentiality agreement were breached, you will be immediately dismissed from your role as an R.A. and the Director will make the determination whether or not the breach was significant enough to warrant disciplinary action. 

Please carefully read over the terms of your contract at the link below. You will be required to sign this contract during R.A. training in Switzerland.
