Shvarts, Yale clash over project
Aliza Shvarts ’08 was never impregnated. She never miscarried. The sweeping outrage on blogs across the country was apparently for naught — at least according to the University.
“The entire project is an art piece, a creative fiction designed to draw attention to the ambiguity surrounding form and function of a woman’s body,” Yale spokeswoman Helaine Klasky said in a written statement Thursday afternoon.
But in interviews — and through the display of evidence — Thursday night, Shvarts stuck to her original story: Yale, she says, is turning its back on her in the face of overwhelming media pressure.
What are you guys getting from Yale, other than saying you graduated from Yale? Is that it? Grow up, rebel, insist on truth.
"To be deceived about the truth of things and so to be in ignorance and error and to harbor untruth in the soul is a thing no one would constent to." Socrates, The Republic.
Wake up or your future is to merely be a cipher educator at Yale or less.
