There was a time when people like this “professor” were put in prison for things like this.
Than goodness those times are long gone. She didn’t do anything illegal.
> She didn’t do anything illegal.
I would not want any of my kids sent unsolicited porn from a “professor”.
What are they supposed to be studying, anyway?
Are even the engineering schools safe anymore?
And what the “professor” did was illegal when I was in college.
As far as I know, it may still be illegal, just not enforced.

More like locked up in stocks in the public square.
Tell me please what is illegal about sending a link, understand that, a link to a porn site, not the porn itself and BTW, Porn is not illegal.
What she did was tasteless, stupid, and in my boot ground for termination, but not illegal.
Porn was illegal when I was in school.
I don’t see where legalizing porn has contributed anything positive to our social climate. If anything, it’s poisoned it.
Is she saying she sent this link accidentally, when she intended to send a link to an article on writing briefs?
Porn was illegal when I was in school.
Well I am 62 and I have never known porn to be illegal in my lifetime.
Her actions undoubtedly violated the university’s code of conduct, and demonstrate her lack of judgment & stupidly. She could be fired for that, however, because she’s female, and as a result, likely is tenured, she will not be.
Aw, c’mon. We called it “smut” in those days, and you know it was banned just about everywhere.
Plus there is no proof..?
[N]o one questioned the dignity of those who forwarded the unintended post,” McElroy complains. “No one asked why, if they found it so offensive, students opened the link, with its unmistakable Web address, and watched the video long enough to know what it contained.”
The link was sent by mistake.
Sending a link is stupid and irresponsible and shows just how depraved this "professor" really is.
Just because some communities banned it doesn’t mean it was illegal.
Alcohol sales are banned in some communities that doesn’t make the alcohol itself illegal.

It was illegal in Massachusetts. Even the stores were closed on Sundays back then.
Maybe you don’t get it. The link was sent by mistake, an accident. And NO, it is not illegal, 1st amendment and all that stuff. Where have you been the last 50 years. And BTW, it is 18-25 year olds that are starring in these porn films.
