"How can you ban the private activity between two consenting adults?"

It is a matter of professional ethics, at the very least. Profs who do this are subject to the accusation that sex was traded for some sort of academic benefit to the student, even if the student is not in the prof's class at the time the sexual relationship is going on. There can be issues of promised internships, recommendations for grad school, etc.

Correct, but I think you got my drift. I knew a college lecturer who was there primarily to get girls, and that was his philosophy, the school would deliver a fresh batch for him every year, and he’d occasionally have a tearful goodbye at graduation day. One of his pals was a homosexual who had some sort of job there, bookstore or something, it didn’t pay well, but he was using the same philosophy of having fresh options every fall.

Yup. I do know what you’re talking about. They are there on hunting expeditions and if someone learns something in the interim that’s all well and good. Sadly, some of the co-eds are intimidated and will never say a word. Others seem to be able to just add a notch to the bed post as in “See that prof over there? Yeah, I hit that.”

There are always the graduate students. When John Kenneth Galbraith was an instructor at Harvard, he met and married a Radcliffe graduate student. They remained married for 68 years until his death.

Yes; it’s a rite of passage for some (so I have been told).

They ought to ban professors having sex at all. It will keep them from passing on their flawed genes.

Oh noes! How will pretty undergrads get a 4.0 if they can’t trade sexual favors for higher grades?

Go to shake hands, and "miss"?

Not many professors teach in the Ivy league these days....mostly teaching assistants. Don’t know how the TAs are covered concerning relationships.

First the Obamacare co-pay, then the undergraduate no-play.

The perks of being a Harvard professor are dwindling.

How can you ban the private activity between two consenting adults? Isn’t this the same as banning homosexual activity?”

There will be exceptions and legal reinterpretations to allow the queers full and unfettered access to kids, er, rather consenting adults over 18 years old.

I knew a prof at James Madison who had a love-shack van and called it his mobile grade improvement center.

No matter how old you get, college sophomores stay the same age.
