Big Blue 06 195 Posted October 5, 2010 Link is SFW, but for God's sake, don't click play on the video that is embedded. Long and short, this ASU chick did one of those casting couch pron vidoes and in the beginning, she flashed her ASU ID card. She then went on to do anal and ATM/facial. There is now a backlash by some alumnus/boardmembers to have her $32,000 a year scholarship revoked. Where do you stand on this? http://boston.barstoolsports.com/random-thoughts/reader-email-asu-trying-to-revoke-scholarship-of-freshman-who-made-a-porno/ Reader Email Liz Hawkenson, is a freshman at ASU who did an ‘interview’ with backroom casting coach and even signed a waiver to allow the video to be posted. Now several ASU alum are calling for the revocation of her $32,000 New American Scholar Award: Arizona Board of Regents 2020 N. Central Avenue Suite 230 Phoenix, AZ 85004-4593 RE: Elizabeth A. Hawkenson (Copperas Cove, Texas), 2010 ASU Freshman Class Distinguished Regents, I am writing to express my shock and horror at the public conduct of a member of Arizona State University’s 2010 freshman class, Elizabeth A. Hawkenson of Copperas Cove, Texas. This person recently appeared in an internet video in which she identified herself by name, showed her ASU student ID card, then proceeded to engage in explicit and degrading sexual activities with a stranger. She was paid for the act and signed a waiver allowing the video to be posted on the internet. As an ASU alumnus, I object to Ms. Hawkenson’s choice to identify herself as an ASU student in a pornographic video that is available to the general public. I feel that which clearly violates the ASU Student Code of Conduct. On behalf of my fellow ASU alumni, I demand that Ms. Hawkenson’s $32,000 New American Scholar Award be revoked immediately. A young woman who brings shame on her university in such a public and degrading way does not deserve the financial support of that university. Yours Sincerely, Anonymous ASU Alumnus Ah one of the great debates of our generation. Should you lose your scholarship for doing casting couch porn? Great philosophers from Aristotle to Socrates have debated this very issue. Therefore it’s not surprising that this letter is replacing the Duke Lacrosse powerpoint as the hottest thing on the Internet right now. Obviously I did some research and found the video on pornhub for everybody to watch and draw their own conclusions from. Because to be uninformed is to be ignorant. Anyway after carefully studying the film I can confirm that she did in fact show her ASU ID card and she did in fact get drilled in the ass. So the question now becomes does she deserve to have her scholarship pulled for it? For me it boils down to what she got the scholarship for in the first place Like was it an academic scholarship? Or was it for being a respectable chick, having great character and representing the University a certain way? Regardless though I won’t do a thing until the coward who wrote this letter signs their name to it. I mean say whatever you want about Elizabeth Hawkenson, but at least she has the balls to get ###### on camera and stand by it. None of this anonymous ######. That has to count for something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanXIII 8 Posted October 5, 2010 It's their money, they can do what they want with it, including withholding it for whatever fickle reason they deem appropriate. I would imagine that an attorney will take her case on contingency should they revoke her scholarship and she decides to sue, however, so the school will pay either way.

Strike 5,547 Posted October 5, 2010 She shouldn't have shown her school ID. Once she did that she focked herself. I have no problem if they choose to revoke her scholarship. If she hadn't shown her ID I'd be choosing the other side of this issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If she hadn't shown her ID I'd be choosing the other side of this issue. Agreed, she indentified herself as an ASU student, not as just a regular consenting individual. Im sure their is a student code of conduct at ASU like other schools that talks about conduct detrimental to the school. This would be classified in that category.

DanXIII 8 Posted October 5, 2010 I don't see what her showing the school ID had to do with it other than pissing off a few alumni. AFAIK Arizona State is a public university. Eminent domain dictates that she can show her ID whenever she wants, wherever she wants. That doesn't mean her actions won't offend someone and lead to her losing a scholarship she never had an inherent right to in the first place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If this was the case they'd be talking about kicking her out of school, not just revoking her scholarship. I don't think it's been alleged anywhere that she violated any code of conduct policy...and any such policy at a public university would probably be illegal/unconstitutional anyway on free speech grounds.

It is very different for private schools. I'm pretty sure this issue was settled already in court though the name of the case escapes me. It was something to do with a girl getting kicked out of a public university for appearing in one of those "Girls of the (insert conference)" spreads in Playboy I think.

Frank M 181 Posted October 5, 2010 http://students.asu....deofConduct.pdf ASU Code of Conduct I guess she could technically be in trouble for these: 8. Forgery, falsification, fabrication, unauthorized alteration, or misuse of campus documents, records, or identification, including, but not limited to, electronic software and records. 10. Unauthorized access to, disclosure of, or use of any university document, record, or identification, including but not limited to, electronic software, data, and records. 17.

Engaging in any illegal sexual offense, including but not limited to, sexual assault, public sexual indecency, or indecent exposure. (Making pron is illegal in a lot of places) The only possible violation I can see is with the ID card, and that's if the university considers it university (rather than student) property. It's a stretch to say that her simply holding the card up to a video camera constitutes "misuse." There is nothing here to indicate that what she did was illegal. I don't think it's illegal even in Arizona for consenting adults to film themselves having butsecks. It might be illegal to distribute the film, but they'd have to prove that she was involved in its distribution. She certainly wasn't putting anyone at ASU in harm's way by having bukkake butsecks. Maybe sodomy is still illegal in Arizona. In any event, they aren't talking about kicking her out of school, they're talking about taking away her scholarship. They may not even have to give a reason for doing this. Athletic scholarships are taken away from athletes who suck (no pun intended) on the football field every year.

Nor is she indicating in the video that the school in any way endorses her actions or is sponsoring them. In fact, there is no indication here that she is profiting in any way from the use of the school's logo or that the school itself is being substantially harmed by her flashing her ID card. Google "fair use doctrine." What if she had flashed her Social Security card? Should she send a check to the gubmint? How about her state issued driver's license? Should the DMV get a check? Do you send your alma mater a check every time someone takes a picture of you wearing your DeVry University t-shirt? IP law clearly isn't your strong suit. Stick to poker.
