Hoedel said she understands why some people would have a problem with the distribution of nude photos.

"If you see a picture of (female) breasts you are going to think sexualization," Hoedel said. "That's how our society has taught us to feel. We wanted people to think they shouldn't be sexualized and treated just as normal as male breasts."

Sarah Donald, a graduating junior at Willard, said she made sure that all the models for the photos were older than 18 years and that they signed consent forms.

"All of them signed a release form saying they understand they were giving permission for the photo to be taken, and we made sure all the people involved were over 18 so nothing was considered child pornography," she said. "I am extremely upset about (the recall) because the Willard Wire became something that I was able to write about things that I am passionate about. And everyone was extremely passionate about the Free the Nipple piece and making sure it was getting to the public."
