Syracuse University Cancels Photographer's Visit Over Ebola Concern

kalishworkshop.org

Syracuse University has "uninvited" a Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer to a journalism workshop because he had covered the Ebola crisis in Liberia. 

The Washington Post reports that Michel duCille of the Post had been invited to the Newhouse School of Public Communications' annual fall workshop, which started Thursday and lasts through Sunday.

From a report in the student news outlet The Daily Orange:

“I just got off the phone with the Dean (Lorraine Branham), and I am pissed off,” du Cille told News Photographer magazine Thursday afternoon. “I am disappointed in the level of journalism at Syracuse, and I am angry that they missed a great teaching opportunity. Instead they have decided to jump in with the mass hysteria.” du Cille’s wife, Nikki Kahn, was also disinvited to the workshop, according to the magazine. Kahn won a Pulitzer Prize for breaking news in 2011 for the Washington Post’s coverage of Haiti. du Cille has won Pulitzer Prizes in 1985, 1988 and 2008, respectively.

The invitation was pulled Thursday after the Newhouse School's dean consulted with university and Onondaga County health officials, who supported the decision to cancel duCille's visit to the campus.

University officials said they acted after a student raised concerns about duCille's recent return from West Africa. DuCille said he returned 21 days ago and is symptom free. He said he was angry and disappointed with the university's decision.

This report includes information from The Associated Press.
