The picture I chose was the one on the Wisconsin University Application cover. I chose this because it shows the level that some people are willing to drop to, only to make themselves look better.
The picture was changed when a member of Wisconsin University put a 1994 photo of a black student, Diallo Shabazz, into a 1993 shot from a football game. This was done to show the diversity of the campus.
This manipulation may not have been harmful at the time, but it is certainly unethical. This type of manipulation gives a false sense of campus atmosphere, which is a critical factor when a student is choosing which university to attend. This false representation of the school could have harmed students future based on the image on the application cover.

I agree. It is dumb to give your University a false image because it is unfair to those who are applying or such.
