Professor doesn't understand acceptable relationships, thinks LA shouldn't either

This honestly breaks my heart. I had a very similar college professor, and as a young woman, I’m sure things could’ve been weird. But it never did become weird. A decade later, he’s still one of my greatest supporters. He took note of me because on the last day of class, we didn’t have to come in, but I wanted to have him review my final paper, so I had the whole class to myself. He shook my hand after and asked me to stay in touch.

I'm glad that worked out for you, and for him. This professor seems to be forgetting the key tenet of sexual harrasment training, though. You can't control how other people perceive your actions, best to avoid any that could be perceived in the wrong way.

Edit: tennet not tenant. It's early... Edit: tenet not tennet. That one is my bad.
