Tufts University--boldly addressing the difficult issues of modern higher education . . .

I'll let the student newspaper tell it:

The Office of Residential Life and Learning (ResLife) has added a new stipulation to its guest policy that prohibits any sex act in a dorm room while one's roommate is present. The stipulation further states that any sexual activity in the room should not interfere with a roommate's privacy, study habits or sleep. . . .

ResLife received a significant number of complaints last year from residents bothered by their roommates' sexual behavior. Ales-Rich said that this was one of the most commonly cited sources of conflict between roommates.

(Link via, of course, Fark.)

The Washington Post reports that Tufts's policy ". . . has reaped heavy publicity on college campuses, providing fodder for Conan and Leno and reducing the school to something of a national punch line." Awwwwww.

Do they have a degree program in "Hooking Up" or is that still left to the Greek system?
