sex for grades


Question Posted Wednesday March 9 2005, 9:59 pm

I had sex with one of my professors but he failed me anyway. I'm a freshman in college and 18 yrs old and I really need good grades, I study for all my classes but sometimes that just doesn't cut it. He didn't proposition me but I was in his office discussing my grades and when I asked him about extra credit opportunites I hinted that I would have sex with him for a better grade but he never verbalized his agreement, he just had sex with me. Now what?

Again with the no names. I dub thee, Bethany.

Well, Bethany, as I see it, you have two or three options here.

One option is to accept that you failed the course, swallow your pride and take the course again like any other student who didn't sleep with the professor, and failed. I don't want to sound like an old, worn out cliche, but I'm about to. Being in college isn't about getting the grades, it's about learning the material. If you didn't learn the material well enough to pass the class, then you probably need to take it again, no matter how much you hate it, or how much your parents are going to flip out.

A second option is to inform the department office. If *he* had propositioned you, I'd reccommend you go there post-haste, but since you propositioned him... you do not have a very strong case for employee misconduct against the prof. The fact that he never verbalized his agreement rather takes this out of the school's hands. Actually, and unfortunately for you, you would probably be penalized for Academic Dishonesty for propositioning him in the first place... which would probably be a lot worse than failing the class. For this reason, I don't reccommend this.

Your third and final option is to confront the professor on a one-on-one basis. I don't really reccomend this either, since I'm sure it would lead to an awkward situation where your feelings are hurt and nothing is accomplished.

So, Bethany, I hope, for your sake, that the course material is quasi-interesting and that the professor you slept with was Hot, because you're going to have to take the class again.

Sorry, but sometimes that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

I just hope to God he had a condom.
