Students are in uproar over the controversial contents of an announcement sent by Sexual Diversity Studies professor Lara Matthews. Though the weekly emails typically contain preparatory material for SDS470: Sexual Aesthetics/Representations, including smut, BDSM, and diverse forms of penetration, students were instead surprised with what has been called “disgusting,” “offensive,” and “the result of a clear lack of oversight”: season one, episode three of Tidying Up with Marie Kondo.
The embedded link, “Threesome Talks Dirty,” certainly did not leave students thinking that they would be assaulted by the sight of a cleanly Japanese lady chastising a couple for their complete pigsty of a home.
“We expect our professor to be professional. Her actions this week were inappropriate and a complete misuse of class resources. Trust me, we are working with the program coordinator to resolve this issue,” said fourth-year Standy Lee.
Upon investigation by the Department of Sexual Diversity Studies, it became clear that the instructor had simply made a technological error. Professor Matthews has responded to the backlash, stating in an apology email to her students:
“I gravely apologize for this mix-up. The videos I watch in private—especially those with adult themes—should never be seen by students’ eyes. I am working hard to replace the link with proper “Threesome Talks Dirty” content that best reflects the learning outcomes of this course. Thank you for your understanding.”
While waiting for the new link, Sexual Diversity students have been instructed to do supplementary personal research.
