Ivy League students watched porn, browsed Internet for academic credit

THE COLLEGE FIX — This past spring, the University of Pennsylvania offered an English class called “Wasting Time on the Internet,” which included, among other assignments, watching porn during class.

Other experiences ranged from “spreading rumors across the internet to simply filming [themselves]… for the entire 3-hour class,” according to a freshman who took the seminar.

As for the porn assignment, the student, who asked to remain anonymous, said in an email to The College Fix that the class sat in a circle in a crowded university building “and played the same porn video on our computers at the same time on full volume.”

“It created a very uncomfortable environment for us – some of the class even got up part of the way through and left because they were uncomfortable,” she stated, adding other students on campus apparently did not notice the group porn viewing.
