Right, this type of thing had gone on since time immemorial in academia. It sounds like when the affair I occurred , the student was 22 and the school had no policy against it.

I was asked out by my professor at the U of Michigan, in grad school. And when I was at Johns Hopkins, a married department chair started an affair with a student he was supervising . It was wrong, but absolutely known by the whole department.

I am happy that such situations have been officially banned now, in some universities .  But that is a recent development and people are naive if they did know how common (and condoned) this has been historically.

Yes, it was against stated policy for undergrads, which is what this student was.[/quote]

Look at the dates of when that policy was passed, and when the affair occurred. I suspect it was in response to this scandal. [/quote]
