And You Thought Harvard Was Puritan...
<p>The art of sexile: It's perhaps the most sacred of all college maxims, the unspoken code of conduct that keeps lusty teenagers and cramped dorm rooms at peace.</p><p>Yet, students at our favorite Medford safety school seem to have had some trouble accepting and adhering to this age-old social decree—prompting administrators to lay down some intimacy rules:</p><p>A new addition to the Tufts student guest policy states:</p><p>You may not engage in sexual activity while your roommate is present in the room. Any sexual activity within your assigned room should not ever deprive your roommate(s) of privacy, study, or sleep time.</p><p>Furthermore:</p><p>Students may allow overnight guests as long as his/her roommate (if applicable) has given permission for this to occur [...] Students may not host more than two (2) overnight guests at a time.</p><p>It's hard to imagine how this will be enforced, although the handbook says that "actions will be properly documented and subject to residential judicial consequences. Any flagrant violation [...] will result in immediate loss of guest privileges for a specified time period."</p><p>See how they're justifying the policy after the jump.</p><p>
