Colleges and universities have been known to push the envelope when it comes to inviting controversial figures to campuses, and Williams College, a prestigious private institution in western Massachusetts, is the latest -- by inviting a porn star.
The speaker, Jiz Lee, is described in the college calendar advertising the event as "an award-winning genderqueer performer, author, artist and pleasure activist." Friday night, a sample of the performer's work is scheduled to be shown on campus followed by a discussion with students.
Some have been shocked by the graphic description of the porn stars talents.

A porn star's appearance at a quiet, New England school is ruffling more than a few feathers.
Jiz Lee has performed in over 100 films, some of which will be screened Friday evening at Williams College, one of the most prestigious schools in the country.
Several alumni have expressed concern about the appearance, questioning the academic value of pornography in the Massachusetts classroom.
