(AP) - The Psy chology of Sex” professor who gave course credit for attending sex parties and gay en counters was suspended with pay from his teaching post for 30 days Wednesday The discipline against Prof Barry Singer came a day after he admitted having sex with some of his students at California State University-Long Beach. But he said he no longer stays at parties where students take their clothes off Trustees of the 19-campus state college system met in executive session Wednesday to discuss Singer, a tenured associate professor whose class has triggered protests by poli ticians and religious groups. The suspension was announced shortly after trustees returned to the open session "Professor of psychology Barry Singer has been suspended for 30 days pending inves tigation of allegations,” said June Cooper, assistant vice president tor academic affairs. "His current pay status will remain un changed Since it is a personnel matter, it will be inappropriate for the university to comment further at this time," Cooper said in a statement released by the university. Singer was not immediately available for comment. Cal State Long Beach President Stephen Horn refused repeated telephone calls to his office, and his secretary said he would have no immediate statement on the controversy Robert Breunig, campus director of public affairs, said Cooper's superior, Glendon Drake, campus vice president for academic affairs, will decide whether any further disci pline is warranted Tenured professors generally are exempt from dismissal except in cases of moral turpi tude or gross misconduct Singer announced last week he was drop ping course credit for participation in non marital sexual experimentation But he said he ___ would still allow credit tor such things as going in drag to a gay bar, visiting nudist colonies, divorce courts, marriage counselors or en counter groups Singer, 38, said Tuesday that he has had sexual liaisons with his students, but he insist ed he has never initiated them or let them affect grades. "There are all kinds of rumors, including that it's practically a requirement that students have sex with me and that I grade them on their performance," Singer said "That's not true He also said he had attended parties where students went naked or had sex, but he said that from now on, he'll leave when such situa tions develop. *Tve been to parties where they've taken their clothes off and there's been some sexual behavior," he said. “In the past, I haven t left soon enough ... My firm position now is that I'm going to leave. I'm not going to be pre sent." A Cal State student who is not enrolled in the course, Betty Willman, 53, touched off the review when she sat in on two sessions and complained that Singer announced he had sex with students “I have no memory of what I said, but I would be very surprised if that's what I said,” Singer said "It has happened three or four times that a student in my class was romantically involved with me, and when that happens, the class is immediately informed ” A student who completed the course last spring, Carol Lane, 22, said Singer told his class the first day that he was "open” to sex with students but would never initiate it or encourage passes at him. Lane, who termed the course a "great time," also said Singer attended a party where some students went nude, although the professor remained clothed “It was fun, but nothing sexual happened, she said Faculty, student awards keep coming Honors go to science, lit A number of University faculty members have been named, elected or nominated to a wide variety of awards George Strelsinger, a molecular biologist has been given the Howard Taylor Rick etts Award by the University of Chicago for "outstanding ac complishment in the field of the medical sciences Streisinger, a biology depart ment faculty member since 1960, is one of the University's seven members of the National Academy of Sciences Barbara Mossberg, an as sociate professor of English, is the University's nominee for the American Association of University Women Recognition Award for Young Scholars University Pres Paul Olum, with full support of the Status of Women Committee and the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, recommended Moss berg in a letter to the AAUW Education Foundation Mossberg's academic honors include a six-year Danforth Foundation Associate at the University, an alternate Mellon Fellow and an alternate faculty fellow at the Mary Ingraham Bunting Institue of Radscliffe College Barre Toelken director of the University’s Foklore and Ethnic Studies program, has been ap pointed to the Committee on American Literature and Amer ican Multi-Cultural Heritage of the National Council of Teachers of English.
