Picture Fraud!!

The picture I chose of fraud was the University of Wisconsin undergraduate application cover (2001-2002) because I think of how many times schools and institutions can manipulate any photo to engage more students to attend or pay the application fee to apply. The picture was taken at a 1993 football game where the students were showing lots of school spirit. The photo was manipulated by adding a picture of an African American in the midst of the crowd taken a year later to reflect the great diversity of the institute. I think the manipulation was harmful because it is false advertisement. Many students look at the diversity of a school before they commit and what if a student base their judgement upon this cover. The student would be upset and stuck at a school with no diversity.
