The incentive to ban student-faculty relationships is to help prevent sexual misconduct on NUREEN KHADR campuses. Harvard joins other universities, including Arizona State University and Yale [email protected] University, in changing their policy on this issue. The Foghorn considers Harvard's stance on the ban and on these policies. News Editor Managing Editor Some of the reasons why Harvard chose to implement the ban include, but ate not BEN GILL KIMBERLEE PARTON limited to: a student being taken advantage of, a professor's name being slandered, and [email protected] [email protected] disrupting an academic environment.

Sports Editor Production Editor Currently, the University of San Francisco's student handbook, The Fogcutter, defines JOHN HOLTON COLLEEN BARRETT sexual misconduct as: "sexual harassment, non-consensual sexual contact, non-consensual sexual intercourse, sexual exploitation, relationship violence, and stalking." These are all [email protected] [email protected] things that could happen in a student-faculty relationship, because these are all things Photography Editor Layout Editor that could happen in any relationship. The Fogcutter, however, does not explicity specify KRISTIAN GEORGE JASMINE BAUTISTA whether a relationship between an undergraduate student and a member of faculty auto­ matically constitutes as a form of sexual misconduct. [email protected] [email protected] We have already established that the majority of both undergraduate students and Audio Editor Advisor faculty are consenting adults. As such, age is not an excuse for irresponsible behavior. ARIANA KUDLO TERESA MOORE Although sexual misconduct policies seem to exist to protect the students, professors and [email protected] faculty members also have something to risk: their esteemed status in academia. With this said, we do not think that a student-faculty relationship is appropriate if the professor or 415.422.5444 2130 FULTON STREET, UC #417 faculty member is currently overseeing the student. sffoghorn.org SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94117 Sexual misconduct on campuses is an extremely serious and important issue, and should be addressed by universities if it occurs. However, different campuses are going <3£> UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO to deal with issues of this nature in various ways, as their needs dictate. Yet, at USF, we Si' do not feel that clairification on our sexual misconduct policy is needed, nor do we need a ban on undergraduate student-faculty relationships. Undegraduate students and faculty are responsible and capable adults, who should also be able to weigh the consequences of their decisions and actions.
