The Wuhan university's regulation says: "A student cadre who hugs his/her lover openly will be disqualified." The meaning is clear: It's okay to hug your lover in public, but for that you have to quit your job as a cadre first." (A "student cadre" in China is one who helps teachers to maintain order in class and organizes students for activities for public good.)
What is wrong if a school asks its student cadres to behave better than their peers in order to maintain a good academic atmosphere? What has disqualifying a student cadre got to do with infringement on students' right to freedom of love?
Campus is a public place. Although lovers are free to kiss and hug, their action should not be a source of embarrassment for others.
Some students are really misusing this "freedom to love" as is evident from the many photos posted online. They disturb our senses on a campus especially because the main function of a university is to impart knowledge and conduct academic research. The lovers, of course, are free to choose a private place.
Reading some commentators, I wondered whether they were really concerned with students' freedom to love. I suspect they are trying to gratify the bully in them - it is in a vogue now to berate universities - or to show off their writing skills.
For instance, a well-known Beijing-based newspaper carried an article by a "veteran commentator" over the weekend, titled University Is Not Castle of Chastity. It drew a parallel between the universities' moves and the feudal-days' demand for women's chastity. The commentator alleged that the schools were suppressing students' "normal sexual psychology and need for love", and declared that they "have the right to govern their own bodies", before concluding: "Please pardon the lovers!"
