These days a lot of college teaching is done online. It's a wonder the
professors ever see the students.

Last year, Harvard was among dozens of schools the Department of
Education said it's investigating for how they handle sexual abuse
allegations.

Additionally, Harvard bans sneezing, coughing, IBS, urination,
defecation, scratching, nervous ticks, Turrets Syndrone, bribary by
book publishers, dorm drinking, date rape, and corporate interference
with research. Yeah... that's gonna work out.
*/While it may be impossible to enforce this completely, I still think
that the basic idea is good because of "power differentials." Same as
with spiritual teachers. If the person you're going to bed with has
the ability to fail you in class or throw you out of the ashram, it
can be argued that consent is never fully mutual, and that some level
of coercion always is present. I've seen too many people's lives
fucked up for long periods of time as the result of sexual
relationships with their teachers to believe that it should ever be
allowed. If the teacher knows that he or she will get fired for
sleeping with a student, it'll happen less. And I actually think
that's a good thing.
