WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) - The president of William and Mary will allow a controversial “Sex Workers’ Art Show” to be held on campus next month.
Gene Nichol said in a statement that he tried to work with students to hold the event at a venue off the Williamsburg campus. But students weren’t able to find an off-campus venue and Nichol said the First Amendment and “defining traditions of openness that sustain universities” required that he allow the show to be held on campus.
The show features monologues and performances by porn actors, strippers and other sex workers.
The show’s Web site says it is scheduled to appear February 4 at William and Mary.
