Sex with student....Should adult student have right to sue University when professor takes sexual advantage?

Yes that is an invasion of your privacy which is not common knowledge. But what will usually happen is you will be viewed as a troublemaker by the dean if you go to them to complain. The dean will contact the professor and have a chat with them to which they will deny it ever happened. Then at some point they (dean and professor) will come to some sort of agreement or the professor will simply ask for a transfer to another school or location. To which will more than likely be granted, and passing them off on to someone else to deal with.

Instead - File a complaint with the police department and the DA's office first. Then the dean. Let them do the investigation, and if they find that the situation (inappropriate behavior) did occur they can and will prosecute as long as you're willing to testify in court against the professor. If found guilty you can take that info (judgment against them) and file a civil law suit against the professor as well. If you win he will have to pay you additional cost of damages.

If you have informed the dean and no action taken or it was dismissed - with the conviction of the professor in court (going through police complaint and DA) you can also include the dean and schools name at fault along with the professor in your civil law suit. To which you would collect even more money for damages caused to you.

whinge to the administration first. If the administration doesnt do something or tries to conceal it up, then you sue the professor. additionally, all people can sue all people, yet they desires grounds for the lawsuit. in the event that they dont have any grounds for the lawsuit or if its a frivolous lawsuit, then they're only dropping the decide's time and combating the courts to place greater criminals in the back of bars. In college the student has a decision. the student can % to no longer take anymore training with that professor and stay remote from that professor. the student could additionally get a restraining order to maintain the professor away. Do each and each of the selections (like: complaining to the administration, staying remote from the professor, getting a restraining order etc..) earlier suing the professor. Then it would unencumber greater of the courts' time, so as that they'd positioned the murders, robbers, serial rapists etc in the back of bars or sentence them.

I'll be serious. I don't believe this for a minute, and neither would a jury. I have a feeling this professor was given the information by the accuser, and somehow seduce does not make sense. If the person was seduced, he/she was partially willing. Sounds like a case of wished I hadn't done it, as maybe they were hoping a good grade would come out of the little get together, and it didn't happen. Now someone is p1ssed.

Sexual conduct between adults in a professor/student relationship should be handled using the same legal standards as sexual harrassment in the workplace.

If conduct does not meet the legal standards of harassment, then a suit is not justified. Simply being seduced is not grounds for suit.

Gone are the days when co-eds were sweet naive' things that 'grown up' type professors could take advantage of.. most females nowadays would deck him and change courses.

The only ones' that might take advantage is the female student to get a better grade!

PS. its called blackmail, not stalking,when someone has knowledge of you and you don't 'want anyone to know and coerced to pay the other in some form.

I would think so. In appropriate contact with a student should be in violation of sexual harrassment laws. The college or University probably has it's own policy as well.

The student should seek due process.

Hope you aren't the professor...if you are you should have stayed out of this mess, and just gone home, or to the bathroom.

Hope this helps.

They have the right to sue...but what does "knowledge of a students private life" really mean?

A student is an adult, surely, and the university isn't in locus parentis.

Someone's trying to make an easy buck.

yes! if he took advantage of that yes, he has every right to, no matter if the student is an adult or not, the professer is taking ADVANTAGE of the student, a younger student if not

no, the student is an adult and should be making decisions like one. if they got "dupped" into a relationship then it is on them...no matter what their history is

NO man. I don't think so. If you have a 2 adult situation...consenting adults...what would they sue for.

Payday?

Yeah. No case.
