Update: According to the Phoenix Times, parts of this story are a hoax: no letter was sent sent to the Board of Regents and Hawkenson hasn't lost her scholarship. Hawksenson tells the media that the video was supposed to only appear on the original Casting Couch website. (Obviously, she does not know how internet porn works.) The stunt could be the work of producers of the video itself, who probably have no shame when it comes to publicity.Meet Elizabeth Hawkenson. She's just your everyday girl-next-door / Arizona State University undergrad with an interest in geography and liberal arts. But all is not as it seems, for today, Hawkenson is making headlines after allegedly starring in an Internet porn video. Her involvement in the adult film caused her to lose a $32,000 scholarship.
The clip, produced by Backroom Casting Couch and hosted by PornHub, shows Hawkenson flashing her student I.D. for the cameras to prove she was over the age of 18. From there, it was only a matter of Googling Hawkenson's name to find she had been awarded a large scholarship as a New American University Scholar.
Someone (the commenters over at Fleshbot claim it's 4chan) was so "shocked" by the freshman's behavior that they sent a letter to the Board of Regents demanding they revoke the poor girl's five-figure grant.
Keep reading to see the letter and weigh in on what kind of monsters would snatch a scholarship from Ms. Hawkenson's sweet, porno-makin' hands.

RE: Elizabeth A. Hawkenson (Copperas Cove, Texas), 2010 ASU Freshman Class
Distinguished Regents,
I am writing to express my shock and horror at the public conduct of a member of Arizona State University's 2010 freshman class, Elizabeth A. Hawkenson of Copperas Cove, Texas. This person recently appeared in an internet video in which she identified herself by name, showed her ASU student ID card, then proceeded to engage in explicit and degrading sexual activities with a stranger. She was paid for the act and signed a waiver allowing the video to be posted on the internet.
As an ASU alumnus, I object to Ms. Hawkenson's choice to identify herself as an ASU student in a pornographic video that is available to the general public. I feel that which clearly violates the ASU Student Code of Conduct.
On behalf of my fellow ASU alumni, I demand that Ms. Hawkenson's $32,000 New American Scholar Award be revoked immediately. A young woman who brings shame on her university in such a public and degrading way does not deserve the financial support of that university.
Yours Sincerely,
Anonymous ASU Alumnus

Would this disgusted letter author have to be checking out porn sites to see Ms. Hawkenson's video? Sounds a little hypocritical to me. Anyone else agree?

The person surfing the site wasn't identifying themselves by name, advertising the school they attend, and then commiting the acts. that is what put her in violation.
I hate people who can't even see the big picture.

Wrong is wrong. It doesn't matter if you put you name or your alma mater's name out there. If you think something is wrong you shouldn't do it. So, if it is OK for the alum to look at the material, why isn't it OK for the freshman to make the material?
The alum obviously thinks highly of their education, feels like the school made a mark on them, and thinks that their experience there helped make them who they are. Which in this case turns out to be someone who looks at porn. Why can't the person who creates porn get the same things out of their education and experiences at the school?
How's that for big picture?

so an ASU alum was looking at porn, which was perfectly okay, until he/she noticed the girl went to the same college as him/her. makes total sense.

Looking at porn != making porn, while publicizing the school you go to, and your name. It makes the school look bad, and they had every right to take away her scholarship. To not would be akin to saying that they are OK with this kind of activity, from the perspective of an outside individual.
They do nothing, it seems as if they support it, whether or not they do.

Illegal: NO
Exploiting the, err, sweeter parts of capitalism for personal profit with few risks to self and/or easily irritable, weak minded individuals: PROBABLY
Arguably being able to label the ANONYMOUS author of the letter as a coward for not including own name in Ms. Hawkenson's social etiquette critique: MOST DEFINITELY
Some of us may not appreciate what Ms. Hawkenson has done in order to garner a bit of the funding required for her living expenses within this economic paradigm; everyone can not be pleased. It also must be stressed that, from the looks of it, she has done absolutely nothing wrong in respects to the parameters set by capitalism's allowance for seeds of personal prosperity to be sown.
As mentioned before, Elizabeth Hawkenson cannot please everyone - almost no one can. You wouldn't catch me trying to make money working as a star attempting to give energy to an entire solar system for the same reason you would never see me involved in the on-screen aspects of creating a pornography: I am simply not hot enough.
Get it? See, you really can't please everyone... but maybe you can!
What would, or wouldn't you do?
Sincerely,
Anonymous (David Heiliger)

I suppose one can object to the association, not being from ASU I cant exactly relate to this. But I get the picture however, if they want this action to happen as a result of an anonomyous letter, it just does not seem right.

How can someone calling themselves anonymous speak on behalf of their fellow ASU alumni?? I'm also in agreement with the first comment, how did they come upon the porno in the first place? This person should be found and publicly humiliated (since they feel they are allowed to do the same to someone they have never met before in their lives).

you realize the entire thing was orchestrated by 4chan to basically just take this girl's life apart for fun right? it wasn't one person, it was a group of people, NONE of whom were actually ASU Alumni lol.
still I don't feel bad for the girl, there are more clean ways to make money.

$64,000? This is retarded. She got $2,000, maybe $3,000 for the video, max.

People need to quit blaming 4chan for this kind of activity. It is clearly Ebaum's World that is responsible for this. I go to Ebaums World all the time and they clearly are bragging about sending the letter to ASU. Ebaums world is completely out of line in this case.

Everyone is being played here. They targeted this girl after she met a photographer and sat for a shoot with him (clothed). Then they started approaching her about porn. She said no, but they kept coming back and working on her. More than one person. They knew from the photographer that she was in financial difficulty. Then they offered her a lot of money for a short session, promising her all the while that it would be seen nowhere else but that site (which had thousands of videos). Once they manipulated and tricked her, they shot it and immediately went to work on sites like "The Dirty" and 4Chan and pretended that they were random college students who just happened to know the girl in the video. These guys just happened to be armed (from day one) with all of her personal info (the info they got from her release forms), and they posted all of it, wherever they could (along with the link) to help generate traffic and sales. And several of these gossip sites are actually owned and operated by the same porn producers that lured her into doing it in the first place. Their first purpose is to generate traffic for the porn sites.
This was a classic fraud / exploitation. Shame on these guys. And shame on this site for helping to perpetuate it.

Oddly enough, for once, the accusation that 4chan is behind this isn't necessarily true. What is odd, having seen it with my own eyes, is that one of those involved in making the video appeared on 4chan, giving the girls details, and attempting to goad the Anonymous hordes into ruining her. His name was found, though I don't recall it at this instance. I'm sure a few Anons will enlighten you if you've the urge to go onto a certain infamous /b/oard and ask. For whatever reason, he was determined to ensure she got out of this badly, and persisted in posting under various guises for at least a week after his first attempt to ruin her. Would I be surprised if he'd written to get her scholarship revoked, after the vindictive nature he'd shown in his threads? Not one bit. Nice people in the porn industry, huh?

If any of your girlfriend or friends is planning to work for mayflower models as a model, inform her that the agency is a gateway to porn. Most of the girls there are nude models turn porn performers. Paid by the porn producers, these girls will work on the gullible teens like Libby with sweet words of easy money.

I am much more interested on the grounds for revoking her scholarship. Was there some kind of morality clause?
It sounds like the New American University Scholarship is a one time scholarship that you need to re-apply for to keep the money coming. Are they saying they took away the money they already promised her?
I guess it's nice to be able to write an article about a girl getting caught doing porn but I think the scholarship and what the college is doing about it is the important story.
