[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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]
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?[/quote]

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).[/quote]
You think that anti-fraternization policies have age difference as a required element to constitute covered activity?[/quote]
