Make the date. They're both consenting adults.
Go out secretly to protect Marsden from college policies that forbid student-faculty relationships.
Ignore the signals. Marsden may have to evaluate or recommend Frannie someday and that will be messy.
Never go out with someone when there's such a difference in power between you and your potential date. It's bound to be exploitive.
