Policies on sexual conduct don’t violate students’ rights
Evan Schwartz’s question, “If a university can enact a policy on sex… where does its power to control its student body… stop?” is more than ridiculous, immature and puerile. GW is a private institution and can enact legislation as it sees fit to best improve the quality of life for students. The University has every right to enact a “no sex when a roommate is present policy.” That may sound silly and may be ineffective, but it is certainly within the University’s rights to enact such a policy. Moreover, is the author seriously suggesting that our “society has regressed since the sixties?” Please, Evan Schwartz, give me a break.
