Tacky, cheating relationships are age independent. The dean also had terrible judgement. Feel free to roll your bus over both of them.
Do you believe in anti-fraternization policies, whether or not Stanford had one formally in place at the time? Why do you think such policies exist?
I support anti-fraternization policies in general but I also think they have evolved as we've shifted the age of consent up, women have entered universities en masse, etc. I believe there are logical legal reasons for setting age rules but I also know from experience that people who are ethically challenged at 16 remain so at 18, 21, 24. I also have zero sympathy for Jill Ciment (as covered in another thread).
