Extracurricular sex can get students expelled

HAVING sex with married people and wrecking others' marriages can lead to expulsion at a Guangzhou-based university.

"Those who maintain 'special relationships' with married people will be kicked out from the campus," South China Normal University said in a warning interpreted as targeted at students who become mistresses and toy boys for money, China News Service reported yesterday.

The stern warnings sparked a heated discussion among students - some criticizing its impracticality and others saying they can understand those who choose the wrong course in love.

"They have the right to sleep with whomever they like and that was none of the universities' business," one student was quoted as saying. China News Service quoted an unnamed school girl as saying most of her classmates do not despise those who hop into rich men's bed, but respect their choices.

Other students said the regulation was necessary in guiding the students to a moral way of life.

Chongqing Normal University followed suit and issued a similar warning, but in much more explicit language.

"Students who become prostitutes, mistresses, or toy boys will be expelled from school immediately," the school said.

In a survey of 992 female college students conducted by Guangzhou Women's Federation from January to March, 60 percent said they wanted to marry into a rich family.

Most of the girls believed that marriage was not necessarily related to love.
