On Monday, April 1, around 7 PM (class was 5:30 8:20), Jennifer Yucus, Assistant Professor of Graphic Art/Design, compelled students from her Computers For Artists class to advocate in favor of a political petition opposing firearms on campus, in opposition to a pair of bills currently before the Texas legislature, using personal art materials and MSU resources, reads the complaint.
Several of my classmates were uncomfortable with the assignment and either quietly or openly expressed this, it continues. Professor Yucus asked students to rationalize objections by thinking of it as a job from an employer (or words to that effect).
The complaint adds that Yucus did require all works to include the URL to the petition she had created and adds that students were photographed while crafting the posters to give the illusion of youth support.
Professor Yucus took photos of her students in the process of drafting and creating the posters, but did not say how these would be used, says the complaint. The posters were then hung in the hallways of the Fain Arts building, giving the impression of student support.
Some of the photos later appeared on an anti-gun Facebook page that appeared to have been created by Yucus. The page appeared to have been deleted after the complaint was filed, but Campus Reform was able to capture the posted images before they were removed."
