"The bad photos are so funny - there are some amazing blobs of humans there."Wikipedia has strict rules for

, so the pictures uploaded must be a contributor's own, freely licensed or in the public domain.As a result it contains many images added by enthusiasts rather than taken by photographers.In some cases that merely means a non-descript image - but sometimes they are much worse than that.

A prime example: the comedian Emil Wakim, of Saturday Night Live fame.For a week last November, the photo above - apparently taken at a stand-up show in New York - was his Wikipedia picture.

When it was removed, an editor noted "having no picture is better than what's currently there".

The photo of the English footballer Kyle Bartley, taken in 2011, has also been highlighted by social media users as evidence of Wikipedia's picture problem.And opinion aside, the practicality of achieving such a fundamental reordering of America's system of higher education, even with all the tools at the federal government's disposal, is a daunting task.

According to Mr Wolfson, however, repairing what he says is the damage being done to academic independence will be equally challenging.A growing number of members of the American Association of University Professors fear the consequences of expressing political views or conducting disfavoured research.

"The destruction is real," argues Mr Wolfson. "Even if the courts step in, there will still be a massive undermining of the higher education project in this country due to Trump's reckless, reckless moves."Mr Hess, who has pushed for conservative education reform for years, is less concerned. He believes that Trump's chaotic, scattershot approach - including last week's comments - could end up less effective than a more methodical restructuring of American universities.
