This is a lecture but it is wrong to touch others in a formal or professional situation, especially if that happens due to hierarchical powers; what 'creates this allowance'.
In this scenario, the student is unable to say 'please don't touch me', just like it would be in a situation involving a coach and a sports player or two mates from the same team during a match.
Things are worse if the touching comes from the same gender.
If it were the student's private time and he had decided to spend it with this professor and the professor did the same, then it would be another matter.
Any touching may represent aggression of the type physical assault.
In the same way that one has to consent with sex even when the sex happens between them and their wife or husband, the person has to consent to the physical touching.
Not many things are more sacred than the human body while we are existing in human shape: that is a fundamental piece of our beings and, for many of us, the same as identity.
The more we are touched in an improper way, so without a chance of having our will heard or respected, the more we lose self-respect and therefore our soul or ourselves.
If we lose ourselves/what is true for ourselves, already said Hubbard, we lose everything, so that that also has to do with Hubbard's sense of Personal Integrity.
