My alma mater really likes their porn

UCSD turns a blind to porn on their airways... again.

Pornography has returned to the airwaves of a UCSD student-run television station, despite a student leaders' vote earlier this week to ban nudity and sex.

In a broadcast late Thursday night, Koala TV host and UCSD senior Steve York replayed footage of himself engaging in sex with an adult-film actress. This time, however, he retaliated against the student council members who are trying to limit his content. The actress' face was covered by the superimposed image of a student senator who was vocal in her support for the nudity and sex ban.

York, 22, has said the episode is a form of civil disobedience, and that he will deal with the consequences. Meanwhile, the university administration is sticking to its decision to let the elected student leaders deal with York and the television station, which is funded by student fees.


Make sure you read the whole thing.

One question: why is a student senator taking the lead on this colossal waste of tax payer money and not the UC Regents? Kudos to her for trying but what can she do to back up her protests with actions. And you'll notice I said again and the articles said returns. This isn't the first time this has happened.

Porn is a privacy issue and I could care less what this guy does privately, but abusing student funds so that he can air this is outrageous.

And can you wonder why I, as an alumn, haven't donated at all? The regents need to help the students pull there heads out of their asses first.
