The Student Body President of one of America's premier party schools is pushing to punish students for exercising their Constitutionally protected freedom of expression. The Saudi Arabian national would make posing in Playboy a violation of the honor code.
Undergraduate Student Government President Yaser Alamoodi is hoping to pass a rule that would prohibit males and females from posing in magazines he believes are damaging to ASU's reputation.Now, I haven't read *cough* a Playboy magazine in more than 10 years. But from what I remember of the magazine, the photos would only erect their reputation and show off ASU's valuable assets."I was concerned to see logos and the name of ASU being associated with such magazines," he said. "I don't want the name of ASU to be a joke anymore, and I think the Playboy association is a big reason why the ASU academic reputation is not up to what it should be."
Under the proposed rule, students who posed would be punished by the rules set forth in the student code of conduct.
According to the code, any student who is found to violate the rules is subject to expulsion, suspension, probation, warning or payment of restitution.

UPDATE: It looks like women are still free to show their goodies in Playboy, they just can't use the University logo, because that would reflect poorly on the University.

I was going to say something about rag heads not belonging in US Universities - especially as Student Body Presidents (wtf is up with that?? where Biff and Sally to busy boffing???) but seeing as he is at ASU at least this camel jockey had the good sense to stay in the desert.

Kind of like Ravenwood rightly complaining if I wore a "Ravenwood Family Reunion" shirt in a porn film.
