Research has shown the importance of emotional aspects as a mark of quality of teacher-student relationships, recognizing them as strong predictors for better achievement. Today there are laws for almost any crime including crime of passion. However one very morally challenging area is that of faculty-student intimate relationships where there are no threats, deception, nor offers and both parties are at age of consent .
So what objection can we make to such intimate relationships in which professors and students in their classes who have professional responsibility for them freely enter ?
very important question looking forward to read the participation about it
Ethical standards of professional bodies advocate against such instances. They are recognized as constituting unethical behavior owing to the dual relationships involved. The morality of the persons involved is often brought into question. Practically there are typically department, university, and community implications.
Obviously, there are many variations, mitigating factors etc.
