In the good old days, the Yale faculty used to be free to have sexual affairs with any student on campus. I used to linger too long in the cozy collegiate lair of my ravishing archaeology professor’s office. On my way out of our intense intellectual ’sessions,’ I would accidentally drop all my books and sometimes even my blouse, like a really eager student-creeper.
But an embittered puritanical dean’s assistant decided to make everyone else in the Yale community pay for the fact that he wasn’t getting any inner-college action. After almost 30 years of battling over the issue, the administration has changed the “faculty-undergrad policy,” and it is now officially off limits for students and teachers to have sex with each other. I bet that there will be a spike in the statistics: spring has sprung and once something is forbidden, it transforms from humdrum Dunkin Donut to seductive Parisian macaroon.

woah woah woah, how was it not forbidden before??? I thought that was like the cardinal rule of higher education (at least for like 40 years) that professors and students are not allowed to have any kind of relationship outside the academic one. This was like a tacit engagement among students and profs alike at Yale???
