After reading the essay, it seems like two equally awful people found each other. This is what compelled the author of the essay to confess to her long-term boyfriend that she was cheating on him with the dean-  " I started to imagine a life with him, and I fantasized about the lifestyle afforded by someone with his job in tech...Thinking my confession would lead to a swell of strings in a climactic scene of profound connection and self-actualization, I shared my secret...He sobbed and wouldn’t touch me."

+1 nothing illegal, just unethical.  Unfortunate the younger is trying to get more attention for her writing by spilling her guts.[/quote]

:shock:

So... "just" unethical is fine?

And another example here of throwing the then-student under the bus and making her a villain, while letting the former dean off the hook as "just" unethical.

PP.  That's my post.  I don't condone being unethical but we are surrounded by examples of this kind of behavior.  I don't think the student is a victim.  I really don't.  Tacky, cheating relationships are age independent.  The dean also had terrible judgement.  Feel free to roll your bus over both of them.[/quote]
