“Students need to realize that [performing in adult films] is a violation of school policy, and they could be potentially expelled,” said Ward Mullens, manager of news services for Eastern Michigan University, in a public statement.
Mullens added that he believes students are “smarter than to get involved in smut that could scar them for the rest of their lives.”
A local television station reported Wednesday that someone had distributed fliers offering young men between $50 and $300 per day to perform in gay hardcore films on the campuses of Eastern Michigan, Western Michigan, Central Michigan, Michigan State and the University of Michigan.
Matt Lewicki, an Eastern Michigan freshman and member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, said of the fliers, “If you get something that’s like, ‘Hey, come be in porn,’ you’re going to be like, ‘Hey, this is disgusting.’”
But apparently students on at least a few campuses around the country don’t share Lewicki’s revulsion. Undergrads at both Boston and Harvard universities have launched adult-themed magazines in recent months, and XBiz reported in March that the Phi Kappa Tau fraternity at California State University, Chico, has been suspended for allegedly participating in a Shane’s World Production shoot.
