Plus, depending on what the age of consent/assent laws are in Illinois, a lawyer may argue that minors can not sign such consents and make them legally binding.
Lawyers are going to make this *very* interesting, w/ a lot of side effects trickling down on other schools. I don't believe for a minute that this school is the only one w/ this type of situation.
