Nah...not you. You I love. But you already knew that.

Believe me when I say I'm not trying to catch hell from the ladies of the FB with this one, but I had a Contracts professor who treated the men in her class like second class citizens, made snide remarks to them, put down their comments in class excessively, etc.

At the beginning of our 2nd semester with her she took it upon herself to read a portion of the final exam with the best grade in the class from first semester. When she finished she asked whose it was, and a guy friend of mine raised his hand (it was well done, creative and actually entertaining). Shocked, she responds with "Oh, I was hoping a woman wrote it...". Stunned silence. Worst grade I got in law school. She also taught Feminist Jurisprudence, BTW, NTTAWWT.

Most unintentionally funny comment came from an adjunct professor who taught Pre-Trial Litigation. Big-time plaintiff's tort lawyer --

Was telling us about the work schedule he keeps... Said he works 15 hour days six days a week and a half day on Sundays.

It was all I could do not to burst out laughing when he started the next sentence -- "My THIRD wife..."

Good thing she had a nice ass.

I would say the bending over was pretty bad, but the worst was when one called me late at night to ask me to meet him so we could "discuss my paper." I didn't go.

Although it hasn't been proven, I am among those who believe that Professor (and residential college dean) James Van de Velde killed his student Suzanne Jovin at Yale in December 1998.

A female student once told me that he hit on her in a creepy way (not that there's an uncreepy way for a prof/dean to hit on a student).

That is a good question too. Is it ever ok for a student to sleep with a prof?

If the student is in the prof's class? Would it be ok after the class is over? Is it ok if the student never takes a class with that prof?

I knew some law school profs who married students who had been in their classes, but it was after the fact.

I guess if the grading is anonymous that is one thing, as long as no one feels forced into it. But when grading isn't anonymous I don't see how the professor could ever really be fair. He or she would feel the need to either be too easy or too hard on the person.

I also think I would look at it differently depending on the age of the student. A law student is probrably more able to deal with a situation like this.

The prof that called me was in undergrad and it freaked me out. The dropping things and flirting I must admit, I rather enjoyed. It was a nice way to pass the class. I never acted on it of course, and she never pushed the issue. If I had I have no idea whether she would have slept with me or freaked out that I finally responded to her. I think she was married too. I am not sure.

I don't think you said anything to deserve hell Aloha. If men can be sexist pricks so can women. I have had female profs treat male students better and I have had them treat female students better. Either way, it sucks.

You have to admit you deserved it, after your "I will admit, my law professors turned to me for enlightenment after getting nowhere with anybody else in the section" post.

DOnt feel bad, BnB, you took one for every gal who jumped in with her C Plus measurements. While I may be happy to share my body fat percentage, this board aint gettng my cup size. Because I know I am sexy from within. Dont need to make myself sound like some underweareschewer to prove it to the imaginary men of this board.

Is this always inappropriate? (Serious question.)

It was here, as I was only 21, I was in his class at the time, and (hi bilmore!) he got me very, very, very drunk -- so drunk that an ethical man would have assumed I lacked capacity to consent.

A (married) law-school professor of mine totally hit on me while he was my teacher, which I thought was rather inappropriate. At first I thought maybe I was reading too much into his "friendliness" but later found out that another student ended up filing a complaint against him (not sure of the particulars, but there was definitely some "procedure" taken) for similar behavior. (Eventually found out he had something of a reputation for that kind of thing...)

What is an underweareschewer?

Did you ever actually see Sebby's wife's? Cause last I remember, he was refusing to post them.

And I thought it was Sebby's wife's ass that was so spectacular. Anyone else wonder how Sebby could have snared such an amazing specimen of goddesshood?

Alas, you have hit upon the explanation for my rigid opposition --- some would say "jihad" --- against the shawl collar.

Can someone confirm or deny Atticus' hotness?

I would say there's a combination ethics/intelligence quotient to this question.

If there is any chance of an imbalanced-power relationship due to the student-prof thing, I would call it unethical.

Just generally, I would call it stupid, on the prof's side. Too much opportunity to get screwed.

The wrong way, I mean.
