I think the bigger "yikes" to me is the implication that being young, male, and lusty as a motivation is a sufficient to dismiss any possibility of illicit behavior.
No, according to the complainants, there has been no unwanted advances.
IOW, the people who object to this have said that there have been no unwanted advances. Why are you assuming that poor behaviour won't be reported by the complainants when they complain?
No, I said that the complainers who are complaining have NOT experienced poor behaviour, so what on earth makes you think that the poor behaviour must exist but is unreported?
Maybe read next time?
> The linked questions mentions that this has created an uncomfortable environment for female undergraduates -- but no allegations of illegal behavior.
>> According to one person anyway. We haven’t surveyed the class, correct?
When saying the class hasn’t been surveyed, the reasonable assumption here is the class hasn’t been surveyed to see the percentage of uncomfortable students - as that can only be substantiated or not by asking for opinions/internal state, as there are no clear objective markers otherwise. It’s a purely subjective thing.
Which by the way, in any large number of students will always be non-zero for pretty much anything.
Any obvious Illegal behavior would likely not require a survey, as one person reporting it should be enough to investigate, and should have enough concrete objective details to substantiate it or not.
Allegations of illegal behavior when they aren’t occurring are, unfortunately, also decently common. Even when everything is being recorded. It does make the investigation a lot easier though!
