Stacy Snyder, who was denied her teaching degree because of a MySpace photo, is suing her university for $75,000.

The MySpace photo of Snyder was of her in a pirate's costume drinking from a Mr. Goodbar cup, taken at a Halloween party in 2005. Millersville University determined that the photo promotes underage drinking, and informed Snyder the day before her graduation that she would not be awarded her degree in education or a teaching certificate. Snyder, now working as a nanny, is seeking at least $75,000 in damages from Millersville University.

I personally think she should sue for more than $75,000. And while Snyder was denied her degree last year, I think we all know by now which photos and profiles to have private, and which ones to promote to the outside world. One thing we've all got to keep in mind, though, is other people at parties have cameras too. And you can't control which pictures of you they put on their profiles!
