Aubyn, I think I'd be very cautious about making a blanket "no faculty may date any registered student" statements, expecially if you are the only institute of higher learning in your area. My wife (an RN) recently decided to pursue certification as a school nurse. The only program for that in our area is, of course, at the school where I teach. We'll never be in a position where she'll have to take a course from me and I'll never have to judge her work for the college. A blanket no fraternization policy would have unreasonably complicated our lives.
