Controversy at University of
Pennsylvania
by: Robert Kresge, Staff Writer
Where does the line of privacy end and stupidity begin?
At the University of Pennsylvania (U Penn) pictures were taken of a woman and her boyfriend naked.
With just that information it sounds like invasion of privacy, but that is not nearly the whole story.
It was said that the girl's boyfriend came up from Texas for the weekend. Apparently he came up to spend some quality time with her.
During his stay they got very close around the window area and the blinds were open.
At that moment, apparently, someone snapped a few pictures. The pictures then found their way online to the Internet.
Now the woman wants to sue. However, she cannot sue because she had no reasonable argument for privacy because her blinds were left open.
"Blinds open, what was she thinking? She should be getting sued for lack of common sense," says Brandon Evans, sophomore at RHS.
The woman could have limited the amount of exposure her situation received if she had kept quiet about what happened.
Another issue is that U Penn is an Ivy League school were situations like this rarely occur, and consequently, the situation is thus made bigger than it should be.
Well, one can learn two things from this occurrence: keep your blinds close, and remember someone is always watching.
