It's in the syllabus: In this case, it seems neither the mother nor the media actually read this document that every student gets. Dominguez told Mic in a written statement that the syllabus states students do not have to get physically naked: "Students learn that they can do the gesture in any number of ways without actually having to remove their clothes," he said. "There are many ways to perform nudity or nakedness, summoning art history conventions of the nude or laying bare of one's 'traumatic' or most fragile and vulnerable self. One can 'be' nude while being covered."
A scan on Rate My Professors shows students have yet to complain there about Dominguez's assignment. A former student, UCSD senior Lisa Korpos, elaborated upon the students' expectations in a statement Dominguez provided to Mic. Not only, she wrote, did Dominguez discuss "the criteria of all the required performances during the first week of the quarter," as universities require in tandem with the distribution of the syllabus, but "the nudity requirement isn't necessarily a literal one."
"Nudity can refer to vulnerability — an expression of one's most honest self," she continued, voicing her support. "Clothes can most certainly stay on. Some students choose to interpret nakedness literally, but it's certainly not forced upon them."
This is a case of not reading the syllabus. It's also a case of a mother not letting her adult daughter do what she wants to with her body, and then unleashing a diatribe upon both the professor and the school for breeding "perversion." Here, it is suggestive that the person filing the complaint is not registered in the course, has not read the syllabus, and has choosen to remain anonymous while doing so — because, at base, anonymity is a sign of one's uncertainty about one's argument.
