Sex Tax

Ananova carries this report from a Romanian University that has discovered a new way to raise funds:

A Romanian university has slapped a 'sex tax' on students inviting their partners to spend the night with them in dormitories. The Alexandru Ioan Cuza Univeristy in Iasi charges £4 each time a boyfriend of girlfriend spends the night with one of the 1,800 people living on campus.

One dormitory manager said: "If they want to spend the night with their girlfriends or boyfriends then they should pay. This is not their home. And it is not such a high price to pay." He added that hundreds had already paid the charge with male students particularly keen to pay and saving the receipts to show friends.

Got to give the Romanians credit for being enterprising. I found this article while I was surfing the net. I was so startled that I linked into the article and was not able to backtrack to give proper credit to the blogger where it is due.
