Gwendolyn Boyd, the new president of Alabama State University, signed a contract with the school’s trustees that forbids her from allowing a lover to ’’cohabitate’’ with her in the presidential home being provided to her by the historically black university in Montgomery.
波伊德，阿拉巴馬州立大學的新校長，與該校董事會簽下合約，禁止她在位於蒙哥馬利的這所歷史悠久的黑人大學裡的校長寓所與情人「同居」。
Lawyer Raymond Cotton, an expert on contracts, said he has never seen such a proviso written into a contract for a university president.
律師科頓是契約專家，說他從未見過這樣的限制性條款被寫入大學校長的合約裡。
"I don’t know of any state that has the right to invade someone’s residence even if the state owns that residence", he said.
「我不知道哪個州有權侵犯某人的居所，即使州政府擁有那棟房子。」他說。
Boyd was born and raised in Montgomery and earned a bachelor’s degree from Alabama State.
