Is it ethically proper for an instructor ==>to accept sexual favors from a student, if they ARE NOT meant to influence ==>the student's grade in a course? I would say so.This situation has confronted ==>me in the past, so it is not a moot point. It might be "ethically proper" for an instructor to accept sexual favors from a student based on the premise that they wouldn't affect a course grade. But then, "I'm not doing this for the grade" is often as credible as "I won't come in your mouth" or "The check's in the mail." In any event, taking sexual favors from a student (for any reason, under any premise) can only lead to trouble with a capital "T". The last I heard on this topic related that some university in California had instituted a policy regarding professors/instructors/TA's and their students. It was something on the order of "Thou shall not date." It was based on the case of some sex-ed professor having all sorts of sexual activity (with students) at his home "for extra credit." Does anybody know more about this?? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Henry C.
