Northwestern University acknowledged today that an unusual demonstration was held on campus last week in which students observed a woman being penetrated by a sex toy.

The university will pay the man who arranged for the demonstration, which was held in front of about 100 students attending psychology professor J. Michael Bailey’s human sexuality class. The demonstration occurred after class and was optional.

“Northwestern University acknowledged today that an unusual demonstration was held on campus last week in which students observed a woman being penetrated by a sex toy.”

I bet that happens more often than they realize.

“It was a fun and educational experience,” Melvoin-Berg said. The students, he said, “seemed to be incredibly pleased. We had a number of them that got closer and closer.”

No doubt.

Northwestern issued the following statement: “Northwestern University faculty members engage in teaching and research on a wide variety of topics, some of them controversial and at the leading edge of their respective disciplines.

Leading edge?

[bubman]

they should teach them history and math instead of this gibberish. f’en liberals. Talk about devolution.

Bump for later

"There are 567 students registered for Bailey’s class..."

Well gee. If that's what it take to get kids to come to class.

I presented the Universal Gas Laws in class last week and half the students were missing.

"Leading edge?"

Tip of the spear, so to speak.

[andy58-in-nh]

Because no one can see that on the Internet.... on fifteen million different web pages. Oh well. I suppose it’s more fun than learning history. And we’re paying 20 grand a year to send our kids to college for... what again?

[xsrdx]

No doubt.

Indeed, blinding flash of the obvious, that.

[Fledermaus]

They think these students don’t already know how this works?

[elpadre]

I thought that only happened in the frat houses!

Northwestern issued the following statement: “Northwestern University faculty members engage in teaching and research on a wide variety of topics, some of them controversial and at the leading edge of their respective disciplines. “The university supports the efforts of its faculty to further the advancement of knowledge."

Moronic.

Northwestern? Let me guess......the device in question is nicknamed “The Big Ten”

[circlecity]

Couldn’t they have paid $20 to see the same thing in the seedy section of downtown and saved several thousand in tuition?

[Republican Wildcat]

Right - leading edge - a live porn show - very educational. I hope the people who are donors to this school are made aware that this is how their donations are being spent.

[ConservativeStatement]

Must be Aerosmith fans.

BIG LIFE. BIG STAGE. BIG TEN!

I’m an alum, as is my wife. It’s been about 10 years since I donated, and stuff like this is why.
