Hilarious

A University of Montana law professor who opposes the content of the Kaimin’s weekly sex column could eventually take the issue to the state legislature unless the newspaper establishes written policies for hiring columnists and reviewing content.
Since February, assistant law professor Kristen Juras has made clear to the Kaimin her opposition to senior Bess Davis’s “Bess Sex Column” by writing a letter to the editor as well as e-mailing and meeting with Kaimin editor Bill Oram. Juras said the material in the column is inappropriate for college students and reflects poorly on the university’s School of Journalism and UM itself.
...
“The column says in its headline ‘sex,’” [Kaimin adviser and print journalism department chair Carol] Van Valkenburg said. “If you’re not interested in reading about that, don’t.”

She has a funny name — Van Valkenburg.
EDIT: Just to be clear, the prudish professor is Kristen Juras and not Van Valkenberg, who has the greatest name in history of names. Maybe, like, the best name ever.
When I posted the quote, I thought I had included the second graf and it got omitted. Van Valkenburg is the college's newspaper advisor.

Here's the very offensive sex column.

Virginity is an interesting idea. It seems pretty black and white when we’re younger and learning all about the wonderful world of abstinence, but in reality, sexual maturity is shades of gray.

“It’s embarrassingly unprofessional,” she said. “It affects my reputation as a member of the faculty.”

Sounds like that prof can't get a rise out of the column.

If I was the editor, I would start running Savage Love every week.

What this professor needs is a sex toy and a power tool.

“It’s embarrassingly unprofessional,” she said.

I am sure her student legal work was beyond profound.

I'm so going to call my cousin and see if she's had this woman in class.
