A dispute between a Durham photographer and the UNC Stone Center led to a photo exhibition being canceled days before it was set to debut on UNC's campus.
The decision has raised questions about whether University of North Carolina officials sought to censor images that showed the institution in an unflattering light.
Before photographer Cornell Watson could open his new photo exhibit on UNC-Chapel Hill's campus, the university asked for the removal of specific images. Later, the university canceled his exhibition "Tarred Healing" altogether – less than a week before it was set to open.
