English professor Martha Nell Smith, who noted that literature from Shakespeare to Dickinson includes pornographic elements, said that it's a student's choice whether to study erotica and "it's our job together to contextualize it."
I really liked that.

I just read the piece fully. I hadnt when I commented before. This is a college campus, these aren't children, they're adults. What if they want to study the history of pornography? (a student in last year's cohort at my history school did just that for her dissertation: 18th and 19th century erotica) Are they banned from watching it on campus?
