If your kid goes after the, father figure (assumption), wise professor, you will spend your days taking if up the ass from Bruno.

Policy on Consensual Relationships


Relationships in the Instructional Context. A faculty member shall not have an amorous or sexual relationship,
consensual or otherwise, with a student who is enrolled in a course being taught by the faculty member or whose
performance is being supervised or evaluated by the faculty member.
2. Relationships outside the Instructional Context. A faculty member should be careful to distance himself or herself from
any decisions that may reward or penalize a student with whom he or she has or has had an amorous or sexual
relationship, even outside the instructional context, especially when the faculty member and student are in the same
academic unit or in units that are allied academically.
