Prof suspended on sex charge
Class credit for nude parties draws reprimand
LONG BEACH, Calif. (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
