There was a college professor that got fired when students noticed a pornhub bookmark to “college girl bangs her professor” on his computer. The college noted that the theme of the video was a big reason for the firing as it made students uncomfortable.

That’s a pretty big red flag.
Is it? It’s one of the most common porn tropes out there. It would be incredibly surprising to me if this wasn’t a fantasy of many male professors. (Hopefully one never acted upon, due to the power differential.) I guess it’s a red flag that he bookmarks his porn where people can see it, but I don’t see it as problematic that he’s turned on by the thought of it.
“not exploiting students for sex” is one of the most important qualifications for a teacher/prof.
Teachers have a responsibility to their students. They are in a privileged situation, and they can screw up a student’s life if they decide to act on their fantasy.
If a prof isn’t responsible enough to stop himself from viewing porn that exploits students on the computer he uses to teach students, he’s throwing up warnings.
