UNM Apologizes On 'Sex Week'

unm.edu

A University of New Mexico senior administrator says the Albuquerque school didn't adequately supervise topics included in a program of workshops called "Celebrate Sex Week at UNM."

Vice President for Student Affairs Eliseo Torres issued an apology when campus officials received dozens of complaints about the four-day program that began Monday.

Torres' apology says sex education is important and that the campus groups that sponsored and organized the event had good intentions. But he says the event lacked supervision to prevent of topics that he called "sensational and controversial."

He didn't identify those.

Titles of workshops related to multiple-partner encounters, sexual techniques and sexual assault.

Student fees paid for the event.
