Two consenting adults legally selling their intimacy with each other is taboo, yet judges who accept bribes, politicians/POI who hire prostitutes and rape children are a-okay.

United States, you’re a joke.

This is so fucked up. I don't understand what anyones private life has to do with their professional one. America is very judgemental.

I mean, as far as I'm concerned, what they're doing is totally fine. Consenting adults, no allegations of assault, and cooking. Sounds like the board of regents is a bunch of prudes

So let me get this straight. A guy who likes consensual sex can't be a chancellor of a university. An adjudicated rapist is a-okay to be President of the United States. What the hell happened to this state?

Wonder if the "free speech on college campuses" crowd will go to bat for this one

In 2018 Wisconsin passed a new free speech on campus law to be better able to punish people who protested conservative speakers. This chancellor brought an adult film actress to campus as a speaker. He was admonished for it by the system president and had a pay increase withheld. So the "free speech" people responded exactly how you might expect.

Little known fact, but that school is also a division III powerhouse for college sports.
