These 23 Students Offered Up Sex In Order To Pass A Class

5.

After one exam one of the students emailed me saying that she knew she had done poorly and she was willing to do anything to get her grade up. Didn’t even see it sexually at all until I casually mentioned it to my family at sunday lunch. My mom said something like “Dumbass, that’s a sex offer” I was like “Really??”. My wife just rolled her eyes at me. Didn’t mention it again, neither did she.

6.

Adjunct at a state university here, teaching freshman comp. One student I had was taking the class for the third time and still struggling (non-native English speaker, which represents roughly a third of the campus community). It was a very half-hearted proposition. I pretended I didn’t understand what she was implying and instead offered to work with her extensively on revision efforts. She ended up being my hardest working student and finished the class with a respectable A-.

One student was doing poorly in my class. Toward the end of the semester she shows up for office hours & asks if she can charge her phone. She didn’t have a charger, she said, but she had a cable, & could she just plug her phone into my laptop. I didn’t think anything of it & said sure. She got fairly flirty that session, & was starting to cross into inappropriate territory, but I played dumb & kept things focused. When we wrapped up, she unplugged her phone & said something like “I think my phone copied some pictures to your computer. Tell me what you think.” Oh boy, did her phone ever copy some pictures. There were literally hundreds of pictures of her which looked to be taken over the course of the semester, almost all of them nude.

Faculty member for 30 years checking in. Usually it starts as a subtle suggestion or inuendo. I play dumb, then document the hell out of it in an email to my department chair, the dean, and the sexual abuse coordinator. We are in a state that allows recording if only one party knows about it. In my office I do have a Webcam and microphone that can be triggered subtly. However, most of these initial feelers happen outside my office. And of course my door stays open, and I never cover the window.
