Sydney, July 24 (ANI): Monash University engineering students, which run Monash Motorsports, have been criticised by female students of the Melbourne-based University for posting a photo of a model sitting atop a Monash-sponsored car on Facebook.Outraged female students described the photograph as '

would undergo training in equity and diversity.'"We do not condone the objectification or disrespectful treatment of women. The Faculty of Engineering will also reconsider its support of the club," the spokeswoman said. (ANI)
