Dating a student is a professional breach of trust, and one that adversely effects the integrity of the entire educational institution. As Professor X notes, a professor has a potential teacher-student relationship with students at a university, not just those in his or her classes.
Dating a student who happens not to be in one of those classes is what lawyers call “a distinction without a difference.” Many students and professors will reasonably assume that the pairing arose out of the student-teacher relationship, and in some ways it almost certainly did.

Some forums can only be seen by registered members.“I understand that it’s not a good idea to form relationships with professors while still in the class (favoritism, etc.).But why is it such a big deal when a prof becomes involved with a student who will never be his student again?An increasing number of companies and schools are instituting no-dating policies for these reasons.
