"Booth babes" are becoming a thing of the past. These “promotional models” (the politically correct term for women who are hired to dress scantily and showcase a product) are in danger of being completely banned from events. The most recent banning has come from Auto Shanghai 2015, which hoped to place the focus of the nine-day event on the latest from car manufacturers rather than the women standing beside them.

The University Senate, which represents ASU's faculty, voted Monday in favor of a new student and faculty relationship policy, which would completely ban instructors from dating a student who they might teach, oversee and advise.
The current policy prohibits faculty from having a romantic or sexual relationship with a student who is “currently enrolled in a course being taught by the faculty member or graduate assistant or whose performance is currently being supervised or evaluated by the faculty member or graduate student.”Students and alumni including Jasmine Lester, who traveled to Washington, D.C., in summer 2013 to campaign for federal attention to sexual misconduct at ASU, contend that it didn't go far enough. Since graduating in December 2011, Lester has dedicated herself to helping other students who've had relationships with professors. Tempe Undergraduate Student Government President Cassidy Possehl said the policy is a good move that will benefit students.
“This new revision is a well-intentioned step in the right direction,” Possehl said. “We must be able to at least trust our professors, our advisers.”
Tempe Senate President Cynthia Tompkins chaired the ad hoc task force created to revise the current policy and study the amorous relationship policies of other colleges.Tompkins found some universities believed adults should be allowed to do what they wanted and others had zero-tolerance policies. Senate president and chair of the University Academic Council Helene Ossipov said ASU’s new policy is somewhere in the middle.
“I think it's a good thing, because it makes clear the boundaries between faculty and students,” Ossipov said. “The previous policy was pretty narrow, extremely narrow. All that it said was that you could not date someone who was in your class so conceivably, a faculty member could hand in the grades in the morning and call up a student in the evening and go out."
Human Communication professor Bob McPhee said he knows of at least two graduate student-faculty relationships, one that ended in the student failing to get their degree and another that ended in alcoholism. The new policy notes the power imbalance that exists in student-faculty relationships and establishes the need for faculty to conduct themselves in a professional way around students.
“Any time a professor creates a relationship with a student, like any other romantic relationship, it's impossible to predict the future,” McPhee said. “Once the student graduates, then perhaps it's OK.”
The only exception to the policy applies to marriages, domestic partnerships or a relationship between a student and faculty member who began their relationship before the student was enrolled or the faculty member joined the faculty of the university. In these situations, the faculty member would still be prohibited from “evaluating the academic performance of that student or employing that student at this university.” Reach the reporter at danica.barnett@asu.edu or follow her on Twitter @danicalbarnett.Like The State Press on Facebook and follow @statepress on Twitter.
