HW 9 (chapter 43)

This chapter explores the idea of consensual sex on campus

Be aware of each of the three stories of Joan (p. 410-411).

1- In light of freedoms of adult students and teachers to pursue their relationships, is there a possibility of a policy limiting sexual relationships on campus?
2- Do you agree with Wesley College's policy that sexual relationships constitute "an intolerable invasion of
privacy?" If yes or no, why?

We need the following definitions:
Paternalism: A policy or practice of treating or governing people in a fatherly manner, especially by providing for their needs without giving them rights or responsibilities.
Conflict of interests: the circumstance of a public officeholder, corporate officer, etc., whose personal interests might benefit from his or her official actions or influence.
Autonomy: The condition or quality of being autonomous; independence.

3- Explain the paternalist position concerning sexual relationships (p. 413).
4- Do you agree that the paternalist view affects women unequally? If so, why? (keep in mind that right now there are more male professors than female professors in our universities and colleges).
5- What would a more permissive policy regarding sexual relationships on campus may look like? Elaborate.
6- Let's go over the different problems of consensual relationship on campus (p. 414)
7- What is the most likely conflict of interests at universities? Give examples. (p. 414)
8-  What is impaired consent? (hint: a "yes doesn't mean a "yes") Explain.
9-  Define "informed consent"?
