Speck: Child pornography violates MSSU computer policy

With the shocking news that Missouri Southern State University art professor Val Christensen has been arrested on a felony charge of possession of child pornography comes a bit of reassuring news.

University President Bruce Speck tells KOAM that child pornography violates MSSU's computer policy. That should set the record straight for all of those who thought it was okay to view child pornography (or any kind of pornography, for that matter):

Speck says there will be some disciplinary action because there was a violation of the school computer use policy.

"The computers on this campus, contrary to some people's thinking, are owned by the state," Speck told us. "My computer's owned by the state. This office is owned by the state. The campus is owned by the state. So sometimes people believe their offices are their offices and they can do what they like there or it's their computers - that's not the case and we do have computer use policies. There's been a violation of that."

"At long last, sir, have you no decency?!" With these words, the famous attorney Joseph Welch marked the end of Joe McCarthy's hateful career. I would ask the same of Dr. Speck. At a time when everyone on campus finds this revelation so terribly sad, Speck takes the opportunity to remind us what a small-minded, vindictive little martinet he is! At long last, Dr. Speck, have you no decency?!

Obviously anon 5:50 is a faculty member *cough* chelf *cough* I'm a student a MOSO and I was on the Student Senate Committee that felt there wasn't adequate evidence for a no confidence vote. What our revelation was....... You ALL need to learn to communicate!!!!!! GROW UP quit posting these jabs, and most of all, teach!!!!!

Okay, sorry that was off subject from your post Randy...... Just pisses me off that people are still going round about this..... Anyway,
It is truly sad that Prof. Christianson is in this situation, either by a set-up, or by his own accord. I'm sure this is an issue that is very upsetting to all students/faculty/administration. If it is true, then obviously he should be released from his position, if it isn't then whom ever is behind this should face equal consequences.

MSSU Student, you obviously didn't ask the faculty when you gathered *cough* "evidence" *cough*. You probably also believed every lie in Speck's response to the ad hoc committee report. And I guess 140 faculty must have it all wrong as well. Go back to class and learn how to do research, you tool.
