I think that the difference is “underage.”

To date a professor when you're of consensual age may be stupid and lacking in judgment; but it's not pedophilia.

It is, however, a felony crime in a few states, even if both are adults. I recall hearing that there is at least one state where it is even a crime to date any FORMER student. Michigan, I think. There was a thread on this topic here.

pedophilia is sex with prepubescent boys or girls

pederasty is sex with kids after they enter puberty

not sure at what age that term ends...it’s rather subjective I would opinion wise but legality wise it used to vary from around 14 -18
