Harvard has formally banned sexual relationships between professors and undergraduate students. The new policy comes on the heels of similar decisions at other institutions.
The university says the decision to clarify the acceptable limits of a professor’s relations was the result of a formal review process, and not prompted by any incidents of sexual misconduct.

Yale, the University of Connecticut and Arizona State University have enacted similar policy changes in recent years, in part prompted by federal reviews of how schools process sexual assault cases.
