The course that Durham University is purportedly creating appears to be created out of necessity; that so many students from their university eventually become prostitutes that they have no choice but to offer a course in how to stay safe while being a prostitute.

Yet, this begs the question. Why are so many students turning to prostitution in the first place? Durham University would be better off taking a hard look at their current course offerings and the social environment that they are fostering so that they encourage their students to use their minds and prevent them from feeling the need to sell their bodies.

No self-respecting nor desirable university would ever encourage their students to enter prostitution. Prostitution does not require a college degree, and certainly not one that costs over $10,000 per year. A course such as this seems like a confession by the university, in that they have failed their students.
