Junior Evan Schwartz, a Hatchet columnist, reacts to a new policy at Tufts University and discusses why universities should be wary when trying to regulate sexual behavior.

Tufts University recently added a new wrinkle to its residence hall room guest policy specifically prohibiting sex when a roommate is present. The Office of Residential Life claims that they received “a significant number” of calls last year from roommates complaining that their roommates were having sex with a blatant disregard for the sanctity of the room. At the very least these furious fornicators are ignoring most rules on public decency.
