> How many "beautiful young people" want to have sex with 50 year old professors? If you think I'm crass stating it like that, then why did you have to bring up "beautiful young people" as some argument?
Probably not that many (although it happens in grad school all the time), but let's invert the question: How many 50-year-old professors want to have sex with beautiful young people?
> I'm actually tired of this discussion. My entire point is it's a red herring that distracts from the issues around housing.
But it's not a red herring. It's a very real concern, and we know it's real because sexual misbehavior already happens between students and professors, including at UCSC! Do you honestly believe that it would not increase in prevalence if students and professors started living together?
