During the initial outcry, uni bosses quickly distanced themselves from the ad, saying it was erected by a government department known as Renewal SA and did not depict actual students at the university.

A spokesperson for the university said: “The photo in question on the Renewal SA hoarding is not a university image. It was not supplied by us. It was not approved by us. The people depicted in that photo are not university people.”

A passerby was the first to point out the controversial poster’s removal. It has been replaced with an ad for SA Renewal’s open day.
