It's time to stop winking at teacher-student affairs

Bruce Macfarlane:

Universities are keen to present themselves as morally upright organisations committed to the very highest standard of conduct.

In recent years, a lot of attention has focused on ethics in research. Here, universities have introduced tight rules and approval processes for academics wanting to do research on human subjects.

But one of the most significant ethical issues in university life receives far less attention. This is how universities handle romantic and sexual relationships between faculty and students.
