Students found to have had sex during term time or who have relationships with married people may be expelled, South China Normal University (SCNU) has warned, according to cnr.cn.

Hearings will be held before any punishment and students will have the right to appeal.

The new regulation drew heated debate among students and others. Students say the university is making a mountain out of a molehill and that it will be impossible to enforce the rules. But SCNU is not alone. Chongqing Normal University has similar regulations, saying students will be expelled if they provide escort services, become an "Er Nai" or "second wife", take a mistress, or have a one night stand.
