It's not a matter of valuing dating above all else. It's a matter of realizing that your students are going to live at your school for 4 years and have limited opportunities to socialize off campus, and that if campus can not provide a somewhat normal social life academic performance will suffer.

I don’t think I accept your premise that more balanced dating equals better academic performance. Seems unlikely.

Or students simply will choose to go to a different school, where dating prospects are better.
