A report from Yale’s Advisory Committee on Campus Climate has found that Sex Week at the school has lost the focus of its stated intention. Yale's president has announced that Sex Week can no longer use Yale's name or facilities.

The report said the event’s initial description was "a campus-wide interdisciplinary sex education program. But according to NBC Connecticut, the week long series, begun at Yale in 2002, has included public services like free STD testing, but also in recent years has featured workshops on masturbation and in giving oral sex.

According to Jezebel, Yale president Richard Levin announced:

"At Dean Mary Miller's suggestion, the current student organizers will have the opportunity to propose a program for next semester that might warrant continuation of this event on campus. We have no intention of suppressing the students' right to free expression. But we will not allow the University's facilities or name to be used in the service of corporate sponsors and the private inurement of student organizers."

Student group Undergraduates for a Better Yale College began a protest against Sex Week earlier this year. They said that about one-third of the events at the 2010 Sex Week were hosted or operated by pornographic film actors or those in the pornography industry.

YaleNews reports that the Advisory Committee recommends that help and resources for students who feel they are victims of sexual misconduct and need advice be described clearly. The committee also wants to establish a University-Wide Committee on Sexual Misconduct.

They also ask Yale leaders to condemn offensive speech when it occurs, while maintaining the school’s commitment to free expression.

Propionates for the sex offender registry are also behavioral science propionates who will never be satisfied by any thing ever, simply put they will have you serving jail time for missing an oil change if they could get away with it because they are control freaks using the same methods of 1, Definition: Legislation against a group, 2 Expropriation: Convocation of property to accumulate wealth, 3, Concentration: Confinement to prison to retain resources, Labeling, 4, Einsatzgruppen: The creation of sex offender free zones, 5, Deportation: The creation of high speed rail is the avenue use by Hitler to murder millions and in Poland it was done in 90 days, The creation of Getmo under the guise of terrorism but what is more terrorist than the sex offender registry when the definitions of terrorism "IS" organized intimidation? and Death Camps which is what these people calling for a sex offender registry keep trying to have people believe, that sex offenders never change. People are always You can bet on the fact that this all worked in Germany giving rise to a ideology that nearly destroyed Europe in the 30's and 40's and now today this same lie is being sold to America by organized religion as what, some kind of global vigilantly bowel movement urged by clergy that backed both sides in WW2 blessing guns and bullets too kill people. Seems to me people would throw the book at the people for even momentarily entertaining these lawmakers and the supermarket paid save the children liars that brought us to the brink of another war. Think about it. Who is profiting buy this, a little group in a little country that for how many years did they want this war to continue? "O" that right the high speed rail to the death camp were not set for Fairies too Getmo yet,,,huh? Wow can I spell it out any better for you, did you see the news where the sex offender just got his bank account cleared of 31k? and it can't happen too you?
