This story is a sad commentary on universities today. I remember going to university from a small town of 5000, I was so sure the students would all be smart, mentally balanced, and wanting to succeed. Boy, was I wrong. Most were okay, but some were such misfits I couldn't understand how they ever got accepted. Like this little lady:
Yale University has threatened to pull a senior student's controversial "abortion art" project from an exhibition Tuesday unless she admits she lied about artificially inseminating herself and inducing miscarriages to produce the piece.I'm sorry, but this girl needs help whether she really did induce abortions or not (miscarriages are spontaneous, not induced). If this is "art", I'm not taking my family to see it.
Salovey said that after he and School of Art Dean Robert Storr conducted an investigation, they determined two faculty members made "serious errors of judgment" and should be disciplined for the part they played.
"In one case, the instructor responsible for the senior project should not have allowed it to go forward," he said. "In the other, an adviser should have interceded and consulted others when first given information about the project. Appropriate action has been taken in these two cases."No kidding Sherlock! Someone's head should roll.
On Friday, in a guest column that appeared in the Yale Daily News, Shvarts stood by her story that she artificially inseminated herself using sperm donors whose identities she said she was keeping secret, then administered herbal drugs to induce possible miscarriages.
She said she never knew for sure whether she was pregnant, but she collected blood around the time of her period after she took the herbs and spread it onto hundreds of feet of plastic that she wrapped around a large cube. The cube was to be suspended from the ceiling of the exhibition hall, and videos of her undergoing the alleged self-induced miscarriages were to be projected on the cube and the walls.If this isn't a prime example of someone crying out for help, I don't know what is. Help that girl. She is drowning. This is not art, it's a scream for help from someone who is not mentally stable. Funny how all the misfits seem to be studying arts.
