This short article got me
wondering if my image is being used somewhere that I do not know it.
“Friends of Kholood Eid, a
graduate student at the University of Missouri at Columbia, called her and
asked why her photograph was in an advertisement they saw at the St. Louis
airport for Webster University's M.B.A. program. Eid earned an undergraduate
degree from Webster and -- as she told The Riverfront Times
-- she remembers the university taking her photograph sometime before
graduation. So she wanted to know why she was advertising a program in which
she never enrolled. Webster officials said that she signed a release stating
that the university could use the photograph in any way it wanted -- so Webster
is not bothered by promoting its M.B.A. program with someone who never studied
for an M.B.A. The university said that the image was a good one. Eid, whose
parents are Palestinian, said she has a theory about why her photograph was
used: "They just wanted an ethnically ambiguous face."
