I have yet to see any performance art that I thought was worthwhile or worth being called "art."

The statement doesn't say they wouldn't have allowed it, at least not explicitly. It just says that had she really done what she says she did, it would have reased serious ethical and physical and mental health concerns.
But yeah, it's a CYA statement. I just can't imagine paying the kind of money Yale costs for my kid to be doing "art projects" like this.
