UB Reviewing Controversial Art Project
11: 20 p. m. EDT September 16, 201 5

UB is reviewing an art project that caused a campus debate.
BUFFALO, N.Y. - The University at Buffalo is reviewing a student art project that caused a debate on campus
on Wednesday.
As a part of her class, an African-American art student briefly posted "White Only" and "Black Only" signs in
Clemens Hall, making a point about white privilege and accountability.
The signs circulated quickly on social media, which led to heavy backlash-- including from members of the
Black Student Union .
University Police initially began investigating. The art student told 2 On Your Side she would contact police to
clear up the issue.

The student also expressed remorse for offending people, but stressed that her signs were intended as an
artistic message and nothing more.
"The University is continuing to review this matter through appropriate university policies and procedures," a spokesperson said.
