For those of you who have your own office at work, do you usually keep the door open or closed when students visit? I have always followed an unwritten rule to make sure it's at least half open when female students visit. My coworkers don't seem to care.

If female students visit, I leave it open.

Yes and other policies along that line of reasoning.

Teaching in Ontario-you learn to keep the door open at all times.


All it takes is one skank to make an allegation...

I leave it open. If a student closes he door, I'll get up and open it.

Cover your a$$.

Maybe you should also have a team of witnesses standing at the door. Person could still claim you did things when the door was open.
