La Salle investigates report of lap dances at prof's symposium

A La Salle University professor who serves on the school's committee on academic integrity reportedly hired strippers to attend a symposium at which they gave lap dances to himself and students.
La Salle spokesman Joseph Donovan confirmed yesterday that the university has "launched a full-scale investigation" into the March 21 symposium held by Jack Rappaport, an assistant professor of management, at the university's satellite campus in Plymouth Meeting.

Donovan declined to say what the school is investigating, but according to a Philadelphia City Paper blog post by Emily Apisa, a La Salle student who claims to have spoken with two students who were in attendance, participants paid $150 to go to the symposium, where they earned credits in the College of Professional and Continuing Studies or extra credit in Rappaport's business classes.

Three scantily clad strippers gave lap dances to willing students and to Rappaport during the class, according to the blog, which broke the story on Friday. The nature of the symposium is unclear, although the blog suggests that it was supposed to be about "the application of Platonic and Hegelian ethics to business."

6. We took our daughter to UD this weekend to take a tour

And when we went into the sports building, where students can sign
up for fitness classes, there was a sign saying 'free strip tease class'.

It had date and time listed, so we weren't sure if it was a prank or not.
