NATIONAL BRIEFING / AND FINALLY . . .
Sex in a Tufts University dorm is fine. Sex in a Tufts dorm with your roommate present? That’s a no-no.
The Massachusetts school has a new policy banning sexual activity while a roommate is in the same room. Kim Thurler, a university spokeswoman, said the school issued the rule after about a dozen complaints in the last three years.
The new policy concerning overnight guests reads: “You may not engage in sexual activity while your roommate is present in the room.†It mentions no consequences if the rule is broken, however.
Tufts has campuses in Boston, Medford/Somerville and Grafton.
