Yale University is notorious for its “Sex Week” and promoting a “free love” atmosphere with its gender-neutral housing.

Now, The College Fix Editor Nathan Harden  reports on the tragic consequences of its sexual scholarship policies:

Yale University has made headlines in recent years for hosting numerous controversial sex-themed events in the classroom, most notably showing hard-core pornography to students that depicted fantasy rape and sadism as part of the infamous “Sex Week” at Yale.

Worse yet, the university became the target of a federal investigation for its harmful sexual climate. At the conclusion of the investigation last year, a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Education’s office for Civil Rights said that Yale had under-reported incidents of sexual harassment and assault “for a very long time,” and failed to keep adequate records of incidents of sexual misconduct.

This week the Daily Telegraph reports that sexual misconduct is worse than ever at Yale:

…According to a Yale committee, in the second half of 2011, 14 sexual assaults were reported which includes rape and unwanted touching. Some 13 attacks were reported last year.
A separate federal report showed that in 2011 there were 37 sexual assaults at Yale –  a rise from 21 attacks the year before.

However these statistics may not reflect reality as rapes and sexual assault are typically crimes that are under-reported.

Yale officials, while publicly expressing concern about cases of real-world sexual violence on campus, nevertheless insist that porn films that include glamorized portrayals of sexual violence and rape are allowable in the classroom under their definition of “academic freedom.”

Fantasy rape is “academic freedom?” you might ask. In fact, those are the very words the Yale Dean’s office used to explain to me why it allowed hard-core sexual violence to be screened in the classroom, as I first reported in my book Sex & God at Yale (p.209), published last summer.

…Bottom line: The toxic sexual culture at Yale is exacerbated by the negligent attitude of the university officials charged with its leadership. It is the responsibility of students, parents, and alumni–as well as the U.S. taxpayers who subsidize Yale’s programs through a myriad of grants and subsidized student loans–to hold those officials accountable.
