Professors and Sex

When I became a teaching assistant at the University of Houston, sex with one's students was considered--by the male TA contingent in general--as nothing less than a perk of the job, something akin to free coffee in the staff room. Some friends of mine would routinely work through three or four co-eds per semester, consoling themselves with the truism that was so often true: that, despite all Lonelyhearts cliches to the opposite, the inevitable revulsion would originate with the student, almost always before the TA became bored.

Now, in the post-Anita Hill, post-Clinton era, colleges have new rules: All This Must End. But not if a certain professor has his way. Get this: Sex with a student is a constitutional right.

Maybe not so much.
