Students to Strip Nude Infront of Male Professor as Part of Course Reqirement

Most people know how stressful final exams can be – imagine that apart from the physical and mental stress, you also have to pose nude in a candlelit classroom, in front of your whole class and your professor – No way??? Well, it does happen…

At the University of California, San Diego, this naked final exam is in fact a course requirement for a class in the visual arts department – And apart from being naked, the graduating students must also perform ‘a gesture that traces, outlines or speaks about your ‘erotic self(s)’, according to the course syllabus

A disgusted mother spoke out against the requirement on local ABC News affiliate, KGTV, after her daughter told her of the final exam – She said the requirement is not made clear at the start of the course, and called it a ‘perversion’, adding that the exam – during which all the students and the male professor strip naked in a candlelit classroom – made her ‘sick to her stomach’.
But professor Ricardo Dominguez insists that he has not had any complaints in the 11 years he has taught the course and told a local ABC News affiliate KGTV that:

‘It’s the standard canvas for performance art and body art,’
‘It is all very controlled… If they are uncomfortable with this gesture, they should not take the class.’
