No Sex For You.
Professors and undergraduate students are now prohibited from having sexual or romantic relationships, due to the Board of Visitors' Nov. 16 approval of the College's new amorous relations policy.

Under the previous amorous relations policy adopted in 1991, faculty were only required to inform department chairs or deans that they were romantically or sexually involved with a student they might be in a position to grade or evaluate.

The new policy also allows the deans of the Schools of Arts and Sciences to grant exemptions from the policy in "exceptional circumstances." According to Kennedy, such circumstances would be where the student and faculty member would be able to show that their amorous relationship did not compromise any professional relationship. It also requires that violations of the policy be reported within two years of an alleged violation.
It's like we really love each other, like you know?
