Since it was not done under the authority of anyone with the power to LEGALLY make this decision, it is the act of a despot who positioned himself as DICTATOR.

If you are too ashamed to be seen with pornographers, stop inviting them to your campus. Total lack of backbone in these hypocrites.
BUMP!!!!
PING
Moronic that they'd claim harassment when they were so proud, say it loud, to pose with a porno producer. It's sick stuff, it's Bizzarro World.
