“You have to feel a little sorry these days for professors married to their former students. They used to be respectable citizens\u2014leaders in their fields, department chairs, maybe even a dean or two\u2014and now they\u2019re abusers of power avant la lettre. I suspect you can barely throw a stone on most campuses around the country without hitting a few of these neo-miscreants. Who knows what coercions they deployed back in the day to corral those students into submission; at least that\u2019s the fear evinced by today\u2019s new campus dating policies. And think how their kids must feel! A friend of mine is the offspring of such a coupling\u2014does she look at her father a little differently now, I wonder.”<\/p>\n
