I worked with a guy who had a criminal record back home AND in China. He was caught with a student in his room afterhours. He said that it was a setup, but he did the same thing in the new school but was not caught.
He had something on his record back home which he admitted to but wouldn't discuss. I don't know what the charges were, but he feared being found out. At the end of the term, he moved to another province and had no problems. |

If the student is a college student, I do not see the problem with having her over "after hours". One of the teachers at my school has an open relationship with one of his students, everyone knows they are a couple(teachers & students), she spends the night with him almost every night,, rarely does she go back to her dorm. Is it against the law in some provinces to date your student  |
I would think so, as well as being the apex of unprofessionalism. |

| Also, WEIRD to have your paramour in class. In the US, regardless of the age of the student, it often can be illegal for a "person in authority" to do "that sort of thing." |

In the US, it is quite often that you see a student affair with a professor and unless there is coercion, no law is broken. However civil charges may follow as it has become quit the fashion to sue for sexual harassment.
Similarly, in China many of the teachers marry a student and I have heard it joke by families that they sent their daughter to a school for an education but instead she brought home a foreigner.
I don't believe this is illegal in either country. It become a legal issue when the student is underage.
Geely University, I witness, several teachers hanging out at the dorms and poor fools that they were, hustled by the Chinese coeds into paying their phones and whatever they could squeeze out of the prof. |

| There's the rub, "coercion"; legal sanctions have been imposed because coercion was implicit. I'm certainly no angel, I've "lusted in my heart", but, once again, it would be just too WEIRD; legality, morality, and unprofessionalism notwithstanding. |

It's almost always against school policy anywhere, including China and will likely get you fired/expelled immediately
I hope this thread is not encouraging criminal types to join the ranks of FT's in china....

Yes, I received a sample contract from an EF recruiter, and it said something along the lines of "no personal relationships (it may have said sexual, I don't remember) with any student or co-worker of the opposite sex" (my italics). Hmmm..... |
