A ban can be set aside by the administration on a case by case basis to allow for genuine relationships. On the other hand, how law works makes defining an appropriate relationship exceedingly difficult leading to an "any relationship should be prosecuted" situation.<br /><br />Yet the use/abuse of authority can be a significant temptation or issue, even if the person in authority is not consciously taking advantage of that. Therefore, an "anything goes" approach to the issue allows such abuses to run rampant.<br /><br />IMHO, a ban strikes a good balance between allowing abuses to run rampant and the often crude power and expense of law.Use the Name, Lukenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-9311528945175842092015-03-26T03:21:21.220+13:002015-03-26T03:21:21.220+13:00Luke,

In many cases the instructor is only a few years older than the students (grad student teaching a class).<br /><br />This is like a lot of liberal policies, it sounds good up until you start to examine it more carefully and then you realize it has defects but you can't even begin to suggest ways to fix them without becoming a pariah.

It can be huge problem for professors to use that authority to manipulate or coerce students into sexual liaisons that they otherwise would have avoided.<br /><br />I'm sure that college administrators are well aware of this. After all, would <i>you</i> be willing to send your naive daughter or son away from home to a place where it's okay for professors to prey on them sexually? That would certainly hurt those colleges' budgets if this became openly acceptable!Use the Name, Lukenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-86844183970023126882015-03-25T03:45:30.383+13:002015-03-25T03:45:30.383+13:00So the gutless are now teaching the next generatio...So the gutless are now teaching the next generation, where to you think that will get us?<br /><br />MDHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
