Hana Alberts says:

Yale University is calling senior Aliza Shvarts' senior art project -- in which she allegedly inseminated herself, induced miscarriages and recorded them -- a piece of "creative fiction."

But Shvarts has called the University's assertion "inaccurate" and claims that Yale is just trying to dissociate itself from the controversy.

Who is telling the truth?
