This paper traces three forms of control taken by postsecondary regulations of the sexual mores of gay male college students, through institutional responses to particular acts: expulsion of those found, or believed, to engage in homosexual activity; the implementation of undercover "sting" operations; and the attempted prevention of student organizing. Despite changes in these patterns since the 1950s, respondents still comment on how these practices influenced both their activities and their sense of identity.
