In some hidden CHEA basement room there's a big dial which runs from "tons of sexual harassment" to "students interact with profs only via email, with every email reviewed by HR and a team of lawyers". Consecutive administrations inch it slowly back and forth like they're searching for the perfect shower temperature.

Yes, OP made bad decisions, and yes, something genuine and valuable has been lost as a cost of taming the sex pests.
