How is filth like this allowed?
A degree in black culture, pornography, and feminism.
A true cancer of young minds.

And between her and all three degrees, you couldn't cobble together the value of a bucket of spit. [}:)]
I attend the University of Kansas (KU) and my experience in Lawrence has definitely changed my thoughts/beliefs about "liberal" universities.
Thus far, KU has been the most open academic environment I have ever experienced.
Your mileage may vary, but I suspect the dirt-bag in this video will soon be searching for a job...... perhaps on the eat coast? [;)]

The free market will eventually find equilibrium.
I offer China's cultural revolution as an example.
But I agree, her resume has very limited appeal.

"we'ns don't discuss nothin, we just be kickin yo * and takin yo s__t".
And just how does one become a "Professor of pornography" anyway? Anyone want to bet that the taxpaying citizens paid, in full for the BS degrees that she holds.
At the very least, she should be kept from teaching kids anything. She is a prime example of what's wrong with that screwed up state.
2. Some courses at major universities baffle me. A class on Star Trek? Pornography? The whole notion of "women's studies" in general?
3. Uber liberals like this prof are the most divisive and closed minded people on Earth. They abuse anyone who dares disagree with them and want to silence any who oppose their ideas. Free speech is for them, nobody else.
They are also egocentric and full of themselves ("I have 3 degrees!"). Hey, I have 5 degrees so the witch can kiss my *. It's amazing to hear them whine "I'm smart, I have degrees, that makes me right." I actually had a stupid poop head professor tell me he was right and I was wrong because he had a doctorate. I pointed out that I have one of the doctor thingies, too. Plus, his degree was NOT in a field related to our discussion.
Too old to live...too young to die...
Getting in the Skin Game
An entrepreneur tries to make it easier for everyone to profit from one of the economy's dirty little secrets.
Business 2.0 Magazine

(Business 2.0 Magazine) -- Wall Street is largely a boys club, a place packed with hypercompetitive tough guys proud to wear their machismo on their sleeves. Yet there's still one investment the Street is generally wary of: porn.
That's why Francis Koenig, a onetime Wall Street hedge fund executive now based in Los Angeles, believes there are riches to be made by matching investors with "adult entertainment" companies. He believes that plenty of people would back the industry if there were vehicles commonly available to do so.

INDECENT PROPOSAL? Francis Koenig's funds provide myriad ways for investors to cash in on the lucrative adult entertainment business.

His reasoning is simple: Porn is a lucrative part of the American economy, hovering around $12 billion a year. And there are hundreds of porn outfits hungry for financing to become more than bedroom operations.
"There just hasn't been a good way to invest in this market," says Koenig, 31.
An opportunity for small-time investors?
He launched AdultVest late last year to change that. He's been courting investors and combing the country for small and medium-size porn businesses, some of which boast profit margins upwards of 60 percent. The response has been strong: Koenig says he's signed up well over 1,000 potential investors since January.
For now, he's catering to investors with big money, although he says his approach will eventually evolve to serve the investing masses. He's raising money for two funds: a $100 million fund that requires a minimum investment of $1 million, and a $10 million fund with a $100,000 minimum.
Accredited investors can sign up on AdultVest.com to qualify, and Koenig says people are signing up at the rate of 15 per day. Roughly 300 companies - including website-porn subscription businesses, escort services, and strip clubs - have registered. Investors can also use the AdultVest marketplace to hook up directly with companies.
Koenig has a good track record: The New World Partners hedge fund, where he was a managing director, posted double- and triple-digit returns through the late '90s - and he thinks similar returns are possible with porn. His funds are set up like any venture capital fund and will invest in a range of businesses, with a portion of each earmarked for buying and running strip clubs.
Adding some Wall Street finesse
The overarching strategy is to take majority stakes in businesses that AdultVest will then help manage and consolidate. Koenig won't say how close he is to raising the total $110 million, but to help the sell, he and his team won't charge any performance fee until the funds return 100 percent.
"There's never been big money from the outside," says Paul Fishbein, president of the leading porn trade tracker, AVN Publications, about the industry. "It's a logical next step."
Koenig is also working with large investors who are looking to take direct stakes in companies. Part of the pitch is that he ensures all investors total anonymity. "They're creating a market that's never existed in an industry that's highly private," says one Miami-based investor who's looking to back firms with $5 million to $30 million in revenue.
For all the skittishness about investing in adult entertainment, Koenig points out that the smart money is catching on.
Playboy, for example, recently acquired the far racier empire of porn star Jenna Jameson for $17.6 million. And in August, New Frontier Media, a pay-per-view video distributor, received a buyout offer from Warren Lichtenstein, a tough-as-nails New York hedge fund manager who's been going after companies he sees as ripe for turbocharged growth.
To Koenig, such moves show the promise of bringing Wall Street sophistication to what is now a supremely inefficient market.
In fact, he's had talks with several brokerages interested in syndicating deals to sell to their Main Street investors. "People just need to get less shy," Koenig says, "and they'll realize that there's silly money to be made here."

her real value will be determined quickly enough. Unless she is a Kardashian.
Then you wonder why does the US Military have turn to foreign countries to get technology to build the the M1 tank and why Americans are driving Hyundai and Toyota's.
You can not teach a kid such garbage for 12 years and expect them to get a degree to become Doctors, Engineers and such..
Black culture, pornography, and feminism are about all kids are taught these days in public schools.

Pretty much sums it up...

I have to agree with you.
