Well some people are paranoid, but that is not the point I was making :) When I used to be a professor I would refuse to have "closed door" meetings with any student (male or female) on my own because the risk of a false accusation was just too high - I saw too many careers ruined by crazy students [1]. If a student wanted a private meeting with me over some issue (99.9% of the time it was about their marks) I would drag in a colleague. 1. If you think I am joking I managed to avoid getting caught up into two legals cases brought by disgruntled students. In one of the cases I was the only academic staff member in the whole department that was not accused. If I was a VC I would be very concerned about having a private meeting with any founder I didn’t know well.
