U Of Wisconsin Chancellor Bans Artwork

The piece – an anti-Bush statement – was to have been part of a show at the university’s art gallery. “In the eyes of UW-Green Bay’s chancellor, ‘Patriot Act’ is an endorsement of assassination. He has banned it from the university’s gallery, where it was scheduled to be shown as part of a traveling exhibit, saying in a letter to faculty and staff that ‘in a society all too violence prone, using these or other venues to appear to advocate or suggest assassination is not something the UW-Green Bay may do.’ To the artist, the work expresses nothing more than a desire to see Bush voted out of office.”
