According to Raw Story, the university has โ€œapologizedโ€ and will stop distributing a continuing-education catalog that shows two smiling white men in business suits (one with hands raised in triumph) as they cross a finish line, while a woman of โ€œindeterminate raceโ€ and a black man trail behind, appearing to have a hard time keeping up.

โ€œWhy follow when you can lead!โ€ the text over the image quips.

The vice president of university relations said that use of the image showed โ€œpoor judgmentโ€ but that this was unintentional and โ€œan isolated case,โ€ the Atlanta Journal-Constitutionย reported.

โ€œThe image was not representative of UNGโ€™s commitment to diversity, and this will serve as an opportunity for increased dialogue about diversity issues, and we expect that to better inform our processes and publications,โ€ Kate Maine, associate vice president of university relations, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The image has been removed from the departmentโ€™s website, and social media and the catalog will be reprinted for redistribution, Maine added.
