I don't think such a contract would be enforceable. It's better to avoid relationships with people you have power over entirely, because they may feel forced to comply to avoid you wielding power over them in revenge.
- beat 8y agoIt's already in a contract before the relationship ever starts - namely, the university/company's sexual harassment policy, most of which prohibit relationships like this one, for exactly this reason. And such contractual bindings are becoming more widespread, because to not explicitly ban power-differential relationships in the workplace (including teacher-student) opens the organization to lawsuits.
