The screening, scheduled for April 4 in the student union, was canceled April 2 after lawmakers threatened to cut the University's funding if the film was shown. Students showed excerpts from the production on their own in a campus lecture hall Monday night.
Lawmakers have agreed to drop the funding threat if the state's universities develop a policy for showing adult material.
During the discussion in the state legislature last week, one state senator suggested denying any funding to a higher education institution that allows a public screening of a film marketed as a XXX-rated adult film — unless it is part of an official academic course.
The plan is to be presented to the regents this summer, before the Sept. 1 deadline set by the legislature.
