<p>::2. huge conflict going on that could get the professor fired::</p>
<p>Not usually, actually. If it isn’t a sexual harassment scenario, then there is nothing illegal about it. Most schools wouldn’t fire a professor for having relations with a student, providing he isn’t sexually harassing his students on a regular basis.</p>
<p>But asking “what if my professor hits on me?” is like asking “what if I win the lottery?” Unless if you think you’re one of the most attractive women in your class, then I wouldn’t worry about it…and even then, it’s still unlikely.</p>
