Some universities have been caught altering photos to make their student bodies appear more diverse. In one instance, a Black woman was digitally inserted into a picture, replacing a Hispanic young man. This young man expressed his disappointment, saying it felt like he was being “erased.” This issue is important because it raises questions about honesty and representation in educational institutions. It also highlights the need for genuine diversity rather than manipulated images.
QUESTION: How would you feel if you discovered that a photo of you was altered without your permission, and what do you think universities should do to ensure authentic representation?
