UBC faculty open to discussing ban on student-teacher relationships

The UBC Faculty Association would be willing to consider a ban on romantic relationships between professors and students, The Globe and Mail reported.

“It’s an issue I am not surprised has come up in the context where we’re talking about, for example, consent on campus – a conversation focused so far primarily around students thinking about consent with each other,” said the association’s president Mark Mac Lean. “When we explore things at a university, we tend to go to all the limits of the issue, so this would certainly get captured in that.”
