Less than two weeks after the University of Wisconsin at Madison apologized for doctoring a photograph to demonstrate diversity among the student body, the University of Idaho found itself in similar trouble. African-American and Asian students were digitally inserted into a university Web site photograph of eight students by a computer technician. The photograph was placed on the university Web site in early September. The student newspaper discovered the manipulation and University President Robert A. Hoover had the photograph removed. Minorities comprise 8 percent of the University of Idaho’s student population.
Student artwork removed at U. of Texas
University of Texas student Roy Stanfield was forced to remove his work from an exhibit at the Texas Union gallery due to its perceived racially offensive message. Stanfield’s piece featured a black mannequin holding a gun in one hand and a syringe in the other. The curator of the exhibit said he pulled the piece because students complained it was racially offensive.
