Hooking Up In College — The Navigator
Lisa Wade, Ph.D., is a Sociology professor at Occidental College who recently conducted research on college freshmen to see what really was going on with the hookup culture. According to her research, the average college student has between four to seven different hookups in the four years he or she is in college. Also, students will now have oral sex, more specifically oral sex performed on men. Even though the numbers suggest fewer students actually hookup in college than they did in the past years, they are more sexual towards others.

Her.meneutics: Hookup Culture: Mostly a Myth
Her.meneutics: Hookup Culture: Mostly a Myth
Yes, this is true; women do say this, and my research supports it. But there is another side to the story that we don’t hear often enough. It’s something many college men say when safely behind closed doors, about how they like hookup culture about as much as the women do — which is to say, they don’t like it one bit. They just feel pressured to say they do in public. While it’s socially acceptable for women to admit that hooking up is not for them, it’s generally considered social suicide for a man to say the same thing.

Tenured ASU Prof On Leave After Showing Film About Porn
Tenured ASU Prof On Leave After Showing Film About Porn
Price is described in the article as a popular professor at ASU, who has been at Appalachian State for eight years. The article says that Price showed what was described as a well-known film called "The Price of Pleasure" in her introductory sociology course. The film came from the university library, according to the article, and is critical “of the porn industry and other businesses that make money off it.”
The article says that Ms. Price received a letter last month from Anthony Gene Carey, vice provost for faculty affairs, saying that “Ms. Price failed to warn students that the material may be ‘objectionable or upsetting,’ and at least three students complained to administrators.” Mr. Carey wrote that that the content was "really inappropriate.”
