corporal punishment in universities

just wondering whether anyone knows of any universities which still use corporal punishment presently... out of curiosity...

I don't remember hearing ANY account of corporal punishment at a university, even in the past. Perhaps if you went far enough back in history there would be some evidence of it. I'm curious why you should ask the question, as it would obviously be illegal now. Or were you thinking of other cultures?

Corporal Punishment was practiced in English universities during the Tudor Period. it seems to have fallen out of favour over the last 400+ years however!

I remember hearing where BDSM will be introduced in some college clubs. Harvard is one of them. Here's the info.

Are you willing to consider fictional universities? The eponymous school of my story "Birchwood College Interview" apparently has a prominent place for corporal punishment of its undergraduates. Unfortunately, there isn't much detail about this, as I never got around to writing a sequel.

I have actually been mulling over a university cp story idea recently. Perhaps I should get to work on that.

The closest things are the sorority and fraternity traditions. But the administration? Pretty unlikely within the last several centuries.

well, partially hoping that there would be a place for a fantasy to come to life, but also, having grown up in singapore, it never occurred to me to find out whether people were still caned in uni...

You might like to check out my story 'Academic Discipline', Butterfly, in which a pretty, underperforming student gets soundly spanked by her tutor.

But it is, alas, very much fiction. I've often thought that some of my female students - especially those given to wearing close-fitting jeans - could benefit from a good spanking. But I suspect it would be highly inadvisable to try it.

I've written a couple of fantasies regarding prolonged use of "in loco parentis" when the age of majority was 21, but I doubt that there has been much if any use this century.
I think it makes a fascinating story, but has to be at least partially consensual.

In reality the early women students had to be so strong willed and determined that it is inconceivable that they would have acceded unless they wanted to anyway-I've met a good few nonagenarian blue-stockings-a formidable breed!

In the early days of Cambridge and Oxford when they were religious establishments, I believe floggings of undergrads occurred similar to monastic discipline.

Cambridge was single sex until well into the last (20th) century-the ladies colleges were not properly part of the university -the relationship was complex. Discipline was enforced by its own "police force"- and large scale fights between town and gown occurred in the nineteenth century. The beadles even had the right to send back prostitutes who came up from London on the Friday afternoon trains(to service the wealthy undergrads) and prevent them from entering Cambridge.

I must emphasise that I'm no expert I only came to Cambridge to work and live nearby, and occasionally observe the antics of the students, and the splendid bottoms of many female students.

After talking to a South Korean young lady (a highly qualified graduate professional) however, it would not surprise me at all if CP was practised on them up to recent years, she stated that it was commonplace in their schools, and she had been caned on more than one occasion. She also stated that girls were forcibly held down by prefects if they didn't accept the punishment. We agreed that discipline was the reason the far-east was doing so well and why the west was falling behind.

At first I thought you said "the Tutor" period. Would have made it so much more interesting! Alas...
