She could have avoided all this by having the model wear the magic underwear:

magic? how? Upon wearing you transform into a seventy year old pensioner?

Properly they are “Temple Garments”, but they are referred to as “magic underwear” by the heathens/nonbelievers/people with a sense of humor.

She’s most likely not.
BYU is highly subsidized by its’ associated faithful.
For a women attending the measurement of success, it is not education, thinking… it’s Marriage.
A statistic of “% of students graduating that are married” is so important, it is mentioned at graduation.
Yes, so it’s a line for MRS degrees, and not MA degrees.

Ugh this reminds me of a time in high school when I violated the class rule of “no photos of cigarettes or smoking” by printing a picture of disgusting cigarette butts in a butcher pan… Surely, I thought, this doesn’t qualify for the prohibition; that’s not the intention of the restriction… Nope: got a zero.

Judging by the dude in the picture, the endowment ceremony seems to work.

So, wait - she wasn’t even the model? So she “violated the dress code” because of a picture of someone else? (Even though the dress code only covers what the students wear on campus.) There are just layers of absurdity here. Trying to study art/offering art courses under these circumstances being one of the central absurdities.
Except, as many people are pointing out, someone fresh out of high school, relying on family support and/or school-specific financial aid to make college possible, may not actually have any real choice in the matter. Even within the logic of the school, this seems to be ridiculous - she was given a failing grade for violating a dress code (a behavioral infraction, which applies only to what the students themselves, and only what they wear on campus) which she herself didn’t even commit… The instructor basically pulled a justification out of their butt because they were personally offended.

Yes, religious art. Bob Jones University has one of the best collections of religious art in the country, and their art students are pretty good at imitating the subject matter and style.

Yes, many students they have a narrow range of schools where their parents will permit them to attend. BYU is fairly strong in some subjects, though apparently not Art, and that whole cold fusion thing cost their Chem department some credulity. It is a real university, and not in the same category as a school like Bob Jones or Liberty.

It’s one of those places like the Air Force Academy or Wheaton IL. It’s a real college, and a pretty good one, but extremely religious and invasive to the point where it’s almost impossible to have a normal social life.

True that. It’s not unusual to see a woman going to class and having at least two kids in tow. There is also the expectation that if you do get married and are female and your husband says so, you are supposed to drop out and take care of the kids and the hubby.
Tis is a silly place and I’m glad I escaped.

Well, now that her story is making the rounds, I reckon places will be falling over each other trying to offer her scholarships and exhibition space for her Bold Controversial Work.
Of course, things like this probably happen every week in various parts of the country and go completely unnoticed, so it would be unlikely that this was all carefully planned.
It’s still up there. IIRC, BYU sends more artists to Pixar and Disney than any school other than CalArts.
(From what I’ve heard, the animation department tends to be a bit more liberal than the school as a whole, but only a bit)

That’s interesting. I wonder what their former faculty members and associates think about the near-pornographic levels of exposed skin in Disney’s latest blockbuster.
