...Andy Warhol's cover illustration portrays the antics of monkeys in a sideshow. One might infer that today's teenagers make a joke of the responsibility inherent in their premature sophistication...

That is not a description with which I can in any way agree. I can, however, understand how the Dean's feeling that those people who solve "the problem of sexual intercourse" by transgressing a rigid moral code...
