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.”
