At its peak, Lafayette College had more than 70,000 photos uploaded to Flickr.

Lafayette College has wiped its Flickr page following a Friday report by The Lafayette that found images from its and other schools’ profiles being used for pornographic purposes by a vast network of anonymous users.

The scrubbing of Lafayette’s account follows similar moves by Claremont McKenna College and Albion College. Claremont McKenna deleted all 35,000 of its photos hours after being contacted by The Lafayette, and Albion College removed nearly 80% of its Flickr content over the past week.

It is not clear when the college began to delete the images, though by 11 p.m. on Saturday, more than half of Lafayette’s 72,000 images had been removed. By Sunday night, no images remained.

Kathryn Meier, who oversees the communications division and is ultimately responsible for the Flickr page, did not respond to a request for comment. Meier had pledged on Wednesday to review the college’s use of Flickr.

Scott Morse, the Lafayette College spokesman and President Nicole Hurd’s chief of staff, also did not respond to a request for comment.

The Lafayette reported that dozens of photos taken by Lafayette photographers had been saved to galleries of pornographic and fetish content by anonymous Flickr users. More than 40 schools across the country saw similar issues, with many, including Lafayette, saying they were unaware of the misuse of their content before being approached by the publication. Many of the galleries included images of children.
