Yeshiva University, after making student organizers and a nationally recognized photographer meet many conditions for the institution to host an exhibit, has backed out of the exhibit, Haaretz reported. The exhibit, called "What I Be," involves photography of people in which words representing their vulnerabilities are written on their faces or other body parts. Yeshiva released a statement to the newspaper that said the following: “As a university based on Torah ideals, Yeshiva University supports and encourages the artistic exploration of diverse ideas by its students and offers robust programming in dramatics and the arts − all while keeping in line with our values. After close review and much discussion of this event with the student organizers, and taking the sensitivities of all of our students into consideration, we determined that a YU venue would not be able to showcase the project in its entirety.”
