The campus would of course be surrounded by a high stone wall, in order to conceal university activities from prying eyes. Only students, staff and faculty with valid passes would be allowed through the gates.
The university would not aspire to teach anyone how to BE a good dominant or submissive, but would simply seek to instruct students in some useful skills – both practical and psychological – that would likely be of value in their future relationships. Switches, as well as tops and bottoms with little interest in the D/S side of things, could register as off-campus students and take whatever combination of classes appealed to them. Students in this category would of course be considered full, and valuable, members of the university community.
For dominant or submissive students who preferred to live on campus, the university experience would be somewhat more involved and all-encompassing. In the shadowy opulence of the Sade Building, student dominants would learn the dark arts of their trade from polite but confident instructors. All students in this department would take mandatory classes in anatomy, first aid, and certain aspects of human psychology, and budding pro-doms could study financial management and marketing. On an elective basis, students could learn whatever techniques of restraint and torment most appealed to them. Well-paid teaching assistants, and advanced students from the Department of Submission, would be available as practice subjects for everything from rope bondage to mummification, from flogging to CBT. The living regime in the adjoining Dominant Dormitory would stress independence and personal responsibility. Dominant students would be held to very high standards of academic achievement, but there would be no curfews, no limitations on television or internet access, no dress codes, and no restrictions on alcohol consumption. Students could party as much as they wanted and come and go from campus at will, provided they got reasonable grades.
On the other side of campus, submissive students in plain uniforms of coarse fabric would learn from firm, no-nonsense instructors in the spartan confines of the Sacher-Masoch building. There would be no attempt to train them in a detailed protocol that would be almost certain to clash with the preferences of future dominants. Instead, the emphasis would be on broadly applicable skills like cooking, massage, and household maintenance. Submissives would also get some of the same health-and-safety instruction as dominants (although in separate classes, taught in a rather different style) and would attend seminars on issues such as the distinction between dominance and abuse. Classes on sexual technique would be optional, but highly recommended. Submissives could also choose to sign up for practical sessions in which they could undergo whatever privations, sufferings and indignities they thought it would be useful to experience. In the Submissive Dormitory, the students would enjoy few luxuries, and would be subject to a strict regime of curfews, bland but nutritious meals, endless chores, and mandatory exercise sessions. Except during university holidays, they would be permitted to leave campus only under the most exceptional circumstances. Violations of the many rules would be swiftly and firmly punished.
Now and then, the submissive and dominant students would be brought together as part of their education. At first, the dominants would be limited to practicing a very specific range of activities, under the close supervision of the instructors. However, submissives who were approaching graduation would be transferred to the upper floor of the dominant dormitory, where they would fetch, carry and clean – and occasionally suffer – for equally advanced dominant students.
