I spoke last week at the University of Chicago about a short law review essay I wrote recently, called “Is there really a sex bureaucracy?.” The essay responds to an article by two Harvard Law School professors who argue that colleges and universities overstep—at the behest of the federal government—by talking with students about “good” sex rather than just the rules against sexual assault and harassment.
