The chancellor of the State University of New York chastised the president of the New Paltz campus last week for approving a conference on sex last November, and said the conference could be a factor in reviews of the president’s work.
Chancellor John W. Ryan said the conference had been “needlessly offensive to many people” and had failed to meet SUNY’s expectations for intellectual substance. The conference, which included workshops on sex toys and sadomasochism, also led Governor George E. Pataki, a Republican, to order a review of the university’s decision to help pay for the forum.
