Student-don relationship ban

牛津大學擬禁止師生戀

Oxford University is considering banning romantic and sexual contact between academics and students.

牛津大學正考慮頒佈新規，禁止教師與學生髮展戀愛關係以及發生性接觸。

The proposed shake-up would see the institution become only the second top UK university to outlaw such relationships.

牛津大學或將成爲第二個明令禁止“師生戀”的英國頂級高校。

Any don found flouting the policy, which would apply to any academic directly teaching or supervising a student, could face sanctions, ranging from a formal warning to dismissal.

新規將針對所有授課教師或學生導師，若違反禁令，輕者會被正式警告，重者將被解僱。

There are fears that an unofficial acceptance of romantic liaisons between staff and students puts women at risk of harassment. There are also concerns that students' grades could suffer if they complain.

一些人擔心若學校默許師生之間存在親密關係，女性會有被騷擾的風險，還有人擔心舉報教師性騷擾行爲的學生的成績可能會受到影響。

Earlier this year, University College London became the first Russell Group university to introduce a ban on romantic and sexual relationships between lecturers and their students.

今年早些時候，倫敦大學學院成爲羅素盟校中第一所禁止師生戀的大學。
