Yale University followed through on its warning Tuesday and banned a student's "abortion art" project from the opening of a campus exhibit after she continued to deny that she fabricated shocking stories of multiple inseminations and self-induced miscarriages.
Senior Aliza Shvarts' controversial piece still could be included in the student show, which runs through May 1, Yale officials indicated.
"Her exhibit is not on display, but it's unresolved as to whether it will be," said Yale spokesman Tom Conroy, suggesting discussions were in progress between the university and Shvarts.
Shvarts kept mum through the weekend and early this week despite the school's calls for her to confess that she lied in describing how she constructed the project. She didn't respond to repeated calls or e-mails requesting comment.
Yale officials warned that unless the art major agreed to say in writing that she hadn't told the truth about artificially inseminating herself and then taking herbal drugs to try to induce miscarriages, they'd yank her piece from the student exhibit, which opened Tuesday morning and closes May 1.
"In this case, we will not permit her to install the project unless she submits a clear and unambiguous written statement that her installation is a work of fiction: that she did not try to inseminate herself and induce miscarriages, and that no human blood will be physically displayed in her installation," Yale College Dean Peter Salovey said in a statement released Monday.

AMEN! Art, science, history, politics...virtually everything liberals hijack they’ve permanently diseased!
So did you vote today for the nut with two boobs or the boob with two nuts?
At least the Democrats have a choice.
;-)
But dont forget that after Roe V Wade is overturned, a wannabee baby terminator will still be able to get an abortion almost anywhere in the United States and not travel more than 50 miles! So theres no way those evil white men will ever be able to take your abortions away from you! No more coat hanger abortions ever again! Just say NO!
Would Yale have the same problem with an exhibit of tonsils? Extracted teeth? What’s the difference and do they teach their medical students how to perform abortions?
Reportedly there is also an artist who took a stray dog off the streets and chained it into a gallery to slowly starve to death “as art”.
Had to figure out the “spirit” of your question.
YOU aren’t saying that an aborted baby is the same as tonsils and teeth,
but THEY would if asked.
“Just a mass of cells”, right?
Notice that Yale will can the exhibit if it turns out that she lied. They won’t can the exhibit if it turns out that she actually got pregnant and aborted multiple times.
That’s not what I got out of it.
She was going to “exhibit” this abomination, and they knew that it wouldn’t be “good for the cause”.
So, they got her to “admit” that it was a hoax, in writing.
Problem is, it isn’t a hoax.
People let this go on??????
This makes me sick.
I don't think that she has yet admitted in writing that it was a hoax. However, an AP piece said this:
When confronted by three senior Yale officials, including two deans, Shvarts acknowledged that she was never pregnant and did not induce abortions, officials said.But in a guest column published in Friday's student newspaper, Shvarts insisted the project was real. She described her "repeated self-induced miscarriages," although she allows that she never knew if she was actually pregnant.
The flower of liberal American womanhood.
“self-induced miscarriages”? Isn’t that a euphemism for abortion?
