<p>no it wouldnt because both are consenting adult.</p>
<p>however, to those who are ruthlessly ambitious and confident in their abilities. It <em>might</em> be beneficial to cultivate this relationship in order to advance your own interests. For example, if this particular prof is somehow able to influence grad school admissions etc continue the relationship while documenting the harassment. That way if he/she ultimately falls out of his end of the bargain u can “go public” with your documented info and claim that you were “scared to speak out” up until now.</p>
<p>Ladies and Gentlemen, as an amateur surveillance quasi-professional(I purchase and update the equipment for my dad’s medium-sized company) I can attest to the fact that there are MANY wonderful products on the market. In order to provide damning evidence of the harassment it might be worth investing in hidden cameras the record remotely and other similar equipment. </p>
<p>Many prominent academics who were otherwise qualified, ie Professor Harold Bloom at at Yale have had their reputations tarnished by sexual harassment.</p>
<p>of course it is a harrowing experience and I sympathize with anyone who has to go through it. </p>
<p>If it were up to me, I don’t think I would have the gumption to try and turn the tables on the prof while I was taking his/her class. Rather, I would document ever single shred of evidence and “out” them when I got my grad school admissions letter. If I were feeling particularly hurt and vengeful I would slap a civil lawsuit on the prof, university, hiring committee, etc etc providing that the statue of limitations hadn’t expired. If the university hired this prof with knowledge that he/she had a sexual harassment history, it would mean HUGE liability.</p>
<p>Ariasthena, as a lawyer, what do you think of this?</p>
