You're basing this on what info? You don't know how it went... the girl may have walked in there screaming for it to be taken down, and they just gave in because they didn't want any trouble. |

This is a very cynical and, I'm sure many would say, inappropriate response to the issue, but I'm sorry to say I think it's probably true.

so then what's your point? if you think its true then why hide it? :rolleyes: |

I'm not hiding it, I'm agreeing with you... I'm saying your reaction is very politically incorrect but you're probably right.
I don't see what your problem is? |

I'm sorry, but where does the charter guarantee a "right to a comfortable environment?"
You're saying one person's morals outweighs the morals of 20 other people? Why, because those 20 other people are all men? I'm not seeing how, just because SHE says they crossed the line, it means that they DID cross it.
If several women who routinely used the lab had complained about this, then I could understand... but one girl, who rarely uses it? Come on...

P.S. It's censorship!! |
Durefei never respended how he knows who the personwwas who tattled. So then obviously you won't know how often this person uses the lab now would you? You're always making up . For all you know, there is no girl, some prof walked by and complained. |

Ok...you lost me....why bring something hypothetical into this debate? Obviously it was a women, because if it was a teacher Durefei wouldn't have felt the need to post when it would have been made clear from the get go...
Next question...
And what is the caption at the bottom of the poster?
Kiss
by Tanya Chalkin
It seems to me that if it was in good taste then that caption should explain a lot of things...is it art after all?
Tanya Chalkin seems to think so...but then again, she is listed as an "Erotic Photographer" so I can see the University's point...
It's all very subjective indeed...but the University has a job to do...and thats to (steal your money) provide an education.
Hey, don't let school intefere with your education...
:rolleyes:
I'm not biased at all.... ;) |

Some more clarifications. This is a lab, not a lecture hall. Due to high demands of this course, our class is THE ONLY class that's allowed to use it. There is a lock on the door, and only students of the class know the combination.
She saw it through the window(the door to this lab has a window)
I know that it was a HER to complained about us, because on our local newsgroup discussion a person to whom the complaint was first addressed, posted that it was a woman that complained.
Some arguments that come up on our newsgroup is that there are not enough women in CS as it is, and this poster makes things even worse. |

Move the poster out of view from the window... simplest solution. |
