Boy, haven't seen you for a long time. You have gotten any less douchey in your time away. The post I responded to dealt with a high school teacher and an 18 year old. Not a college coach. Maybe you're still right but your example had nothing to do with the post I weighed in on.
Illegal? No, not illegal. Wrong, immoral, unethical, perhaps, but not illegal. Not even close.
Thank goodness they were caught just sleeping and not fooling around!
Probably a lot of late night "cramming" got them tired. So they slept.
By your idiotic logic, Joe should probably have been arrested when courting Sue. He was a university employee and she was a student.
Oh, my bad. I could have sworn you were responding to a post on a Dick Law dean having sex with a law student since, well, that’s the title of the thread and nothing in your post suggested otherwise.
Wrong as it is, it goes on all the time in High School, so one just has to believe that it happens even more in college. A consultant who called on our company was a teacher at a local university. He didn't have to pursue anyone as he was the pursued on a regular basis, needing assistance with a grade; and it helps if you are at least reasonably attractive.
Why are you being so defensive? This whole thread was a question to make sure the university wasn't inadvertantly covering something illegal up.
I probably have an idea about what I am saying more than you would think. I've spent time in both the legal and education fields in my life. Calm down, no reason at all to get defensive.
Laws morph and change over a 70 year time period... we aren't talking about the 1940s (or whenever it was). We are talking about 2018.
I don't think it's illegal by any stretch, but it is inappropriate and shouldn't be tolerated. Students depend on professors' recommendations for clerkships and jobs after graduation, not to mention the appearance of impropriety in grading. And if the professor is a dean, there's a disciplinary/administrative role that adds to the inappropriateness.
That said, it's hard to know whether this is just a rumor or not, but google does show that an associate dean at Dickinson was named as the dean of a lower-tier law school in the Midwest in February - so the timeline does appear to match up.

Yes, I do understand what you're trying to say. I'm in academe, and if I were to have a relationship with one of my students, or with a student who is majoring or minoring in my field, or with a student who would potentially take one of my classes, I'd be canned, tenure be damned. If it were a student outside my field, then I'd keep my job. But none of what I've outlined here is illegal, as long as the student is an adult.
But, really, it's the faculty member's responsibility to respect the boundaries, whatever they may be. Faculty shouldn't sleep with students, it's just wrong. If the attraction is too much, just take cold showers until the student graduates.
Good research. I just did a quick Google search, and that dean is the same person that this thread is referring to. Interesting.
I can't 100% confirm this rumor, but was told by an involved student who was very dead serious on it being true. Who knows

Good Lord
There is a rumor that I took my dog for a long walk in the park this morning.
Why don’t you see if you can “sleuth” that down - and report on your findings.
God forbid something like that should be “swept under the rug”.
Fonzie approves this message!
Even if it legal, culture does tolerate it. Professor will be fired by the university policy even if it discourages it. No questions asked in case of school teacher or administrator.
Thank goodness you’re not in either field anymore. You didn’t learn anything about law, and it appears that you know even less about educational research.
