A Very Private Affair:

This book fills a significant gap in the literature on sexual behaviour in higher education settings:

should university staff enter into sexual relationships with their students?  Can a university condone such relationships or should it seek to discourage or forbid them? 

Should we view such liaisons as an inevitable result of mature adults meeting and working together in a shared environment, or as examples of a misuse of power?

Sexual exploitation is a delicate matter. From the outset we gave everyone we interviewed for this research a guarantee that they would not be identifiable in any published material.
