Dude!  The Onion was late to the game on that one.

The photoshopped cover really happened at the University of Wisconsin.

UW-Madison doctors photo to stress diversity

In an effort to show what a diverse campus UW-Madison is, UW officials doctored a photo that appears on the cover of the Wisconsin 2001-'02 admissions application to include a black student in it.

This photo of Diallo Shabazz was added to the cover of the admissions application. Shabazz was originally with ethnic minority students meeting each other at the PLAYFAIR icebreaker activity for new students during Wisconsin Welcome, a University of Wisconsin orientation activity. The photo was reversed to make it work within the context of the other photo.

Ha ha! Yeah, I vaguely recall that. As always, truth is indeed stranger than fiction. I think maybe the Onion article was just kinda poking fun at Wisconsin for that, because the Onion is right there in Madison.

So at the University of Wisconsin you don't really have to interact with black students? You just photoshop them into your pictures once you graduate?
