Here's Why Alabama State University's President Can't Have 'Lovers' Stay Overnight

The contract was originally posted by The Birmingham News - you can read it in full here - and the questionable clause reads, "For so long as Dr. Boyd is president and a single person, she shall not be allowed to cohabitate in the president's residence with any person with whom she has a romantic relation."

While ASU won't comment as to whether this is specific to Boyd's contract, the university issued the following statement, via ABC News:

Boyd has maintained that she has no concerns about the clause, telling ABC, "I can read; I read my contract thoroughly. I knew what I was signing, and I have no issue with it at all."

University officials are also emphasizing that ASU in no way forced Boyd to agree to these restrictions. "If she wanted to change the contract, she could have," Elton Dean, chairman of the ASU Board of Trustees, told ABC.
