In an interview cited by De Morgen, the professor said that he didn’t visit the site on purpose, and that he wasn’t used to working with a laptop. Whether it was a moment of weakness or an honest mistake made little difference to the Dutch university administration, who asked the guest lecturer not to return.
“The teacher should not come back,” a university spokesman said, according to the Dutch-language VRT. “It’s forbidden to watch such sites here. Permanent staff is issued a warning, visiting professors have to leave immediately.”
The professor visited a pornographic website following a Feb. 19 class that was being recorded for the Internet. The teacher forgot to disconnect his screen share after class, which resulted in his showing “labia instead of phospholipids” to anyone still tuned in, per a HuffPost translation of Dutch website Resource.
A student was able to take a screen shot and emailed it to other students, according to a HuffPost translation of Gazet van Antwerpen. That email eventually ended up in the inbox of a university official.
