Sex Equals NO

Tufts University had every right to make this decision. Having a roommate means knowing how to share a room and what lines can be crossed. As college students the roommates should be able to draw that line themselves, but since they can't the university had every right to step in. Sexual relations are a private matter and should be kept behind close doors, if a student wants to participate in sexual activities they should take it to a hotel, car or somewhere else besides the dorms if their roommates object. Now on the other hand if the roommate has no problem with it then I feel the University has no right to step in. Freedom of expression has limits. Having sex while a roommate is present is a violation of the law, and is considered indecent exposure, disorderly conduct, and who knows what else. Personally I wouldn't want to sleep in my room if I knew my roommate had conducted sexual business there. Of course with the new rules at Tufts the students are going to ignore them and do what they want, however it is nice to have that rule in place in case there is a discrepancy with two roommates.
