Political Issues within Team

[11robo11]

Hey CD,

Our team has been facing many problems with inter-personal relations between mentors and students. A majority of students feel that mentors have been making contradictory/confusing statements, getting too involved in the design process, a general lack of respect, and even been making hostile remarks and accusations.

How do other teams manage the balance between mentors and students? For example, how are decisions made when a majority of students disagree with a mentor? or how do students make mentors aware of issues that they are facing?

Thanks
