Not quite ladies and gentlemen. It appears that FoxNews.com has taken an interest in our school's little scandal. And the best part, they link to our law school's blog (which I contribute to) in the article. Never thought we'd get this much press.

I do have one beef with the FoxNews people: GET THE NAME OF MY LAW SCHOOL CORRECT!! I do not attend IU-Purdue University law school in Indiana. I attend Indiana University School of Law--Indianapolis. For the love of God, is it that difficult?

Anyway, here's the article in its entirety:

The IU-Purdue University law school in Indiana removed a Christmas tree from the lobby of the school after some students and faculty complained that it made them feel excluded, reports the Indianapolis Star.

Following the complaints, the tree was replaced with a neutral winter scene, inspired by Courier and Ives.

The excluded Christmas tree was decorated with folded fans made of maps of the world, lights and ornaments resembling world globes. It was intended to convey the "diversity and the identification of people everywhere," according to school officials.

Following pressure from students at the school, a less-exclusive display has been erected. The new display has two smaller trees, but they are unadorned.
