University of Arkansas Media Relations Manager Steve Voorhies told 5News they confirmed it was not Quinn, but they are  trying to figure out if it may be a current student.  There are more than 1,000 students in that program.

Voorhies also said the T-shirt shown in the photo is sold at the University bookstore.

"Fostering an atmosphere of diversity and inclusion is a top priority at the University of Arkansas and this image is not a reflection of our university’s values," said Voorhies.

No word, yet, who the man is in the photo.
