Handle Your Business!

The Residential Office at Taft University has added a new stipulation that “prohibits any sex act in a dorm room while one's roommate is present.” According to the video the stipulation further states that “any sexual activity in the room should not interfere with a roommate's privacy, study habits or sleep.” It is not appropriate nor respectable for school officials to interfere with something so confidential and personal. The school is definitely not violating the students Freedom of Expression because that’s disrespectful to do that in front of your roommate. Personally, I believe that this is offensive because this may actually bring unnecessary tension and conflict between the roommates because someone who may be strongly sexually active could eventually have hatred for their roommate simply because they can never “handle their business.” So overall this new policy is redundant simply because that is a private matter that shouldn’t be handled by school officials.
