By banning relationships it only makes it hotter. Plus, we know how well bans have worked during American history. My university has a better policy: if there is a relationship between a professor and a student, it must be reported to the university. The professor has no grading power over the student for the next 7 years, even if the two break up. That's a much more pragmatic approach.
