I am disappointed to find that the administration is rescinding a responsible decision to cancel Josh Stulman's exhibition ("Spanier: Student can display art," April 26). Given the nature of the contents, Charles Garoian, director and professor of the School of Visual Arts, was justified in his actions. Many argue for freedom of speech, but I see no wrongdoing in prohibiting the exhibition from appearing on university property. No one is silencing Stulman; he may spread his message on his own time.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not an issue on which the university should be taking sides. As an institution of learning, the university should provide students with practical skills and the means to make informed decisions. Stulman's art sends a clearly biased message, and to support his message is to support his bias. My suggestion to rectify that problem is to distribute information at the exhibit on what is happening in Israel and the horrific acts on both sides. This would allow observers to make their own informed opinions regarding Stulman's work.

I beg the administration to not apologize to Stulman. An exhibition on university property is not a right; it's a privilege. If anything, Stulman should be grateful that the university is allowing his exhibition to go on.
