No sooner did we get the words out of our ... fingertips … than did Northwestern turn on the balls of their feet, and change their tone. President Morton Schapiro issued a statement Thursday saying he was “troubled and disappointed” that there was a “live sex show” performed after a human sexuality class at the university.

“Many members of the Northwestern community are disturbed by what took place on our campus,” Schapiro said. “So am I.”

Pres. Schapiro said Professor John Michael Bailey, acted in poor judgment, and called for a complete investigation into the situation. We're not entirely sure how much more information he wants. The whole thing seems pretty cut and dried to us. Big news? Guess so. Hundreds of news outlets are all over this breaking story.

Spokesman Alan Cubbage previously defended the “sex show” in an email. It said, “Northwestern University faculty members engage in teaching and research on a wide variety of topics, some of them controversial and at the leading edge of their respective disciplines. The University supports the efforts of its faculty to further the advancement of knowledge.”

So what gives, Northwestern? Your students weren't bothered. Why are you?
