Relationships between university professors and students
This article examines the question of whether universities and colleges should attempt to ban all student-faculty relationships, as many have tried to do. It argues that, because adults have a fundamental right to engage in intimate relationships without interference, supporters of relationship bans must meet a high standard in defending them.

I argue that this is not correct. Hume thinks certain systems of law will accomplish their purpose, of coordinating…
