Yale "sex week" faces axe
Who would have imagined? This is an institution of higher learning - one regarded as prestigious. Who would lust after acceptance at such a place?Between two months of Occupy Wall Street depravity and the Penn State scandal, I'm feeling like we live in an absolute cesspool, with our media making mountains out of molehills (undocumented Cain allegations) and molehills out of mountains. Did they ever tell us about this?
Enough, already!
Notorious 'sex week' at Yale faces the axe
November 15, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Every two years undergraduate students at Yale university are invited to two weeks of pornography, porn stars, fetishes, sex toys and sex talks, all in the name of the university's infamous "Sex Week."
But if the university's president and a committee tasked with studying campus sexual climate have their way, Yale's most notorious event won't happen again - at least not on Yale property, or using Yale's name.
In a September 15 report issued by the Advisory Committee on Campus Climate, members of the committee said that they heard "over and over" from students, faculty, and staff that "Sex Week" is "highly problematic."
While the student-led initiative began as "a campus-wide interdisciplinary sex education program," the committee charged that "over time, this event clearly has lost the focus of its stated intention."

Now, in a response issued Nov. 10, the university's president, Dr. Richard Levin, has cautiously expressed his agreement with the committee's analysis. "We will not allow the University's facilities or name to be used in the service of corporate sponsors and the private inurement of student organizers," Levin stated.
