Wow... Weird. I guess Monash can expect an influx of gay students...?
Seriously, it's obvious that the designers of both sites used the same commercial photo bank. Makes you realise, doesn't it? I mean, those people in that photo are models, and therefore not necessarily gay or students (though, being models, are quite likely to be one or both of those things). And, of course, the same can be said of every person in any promotional photo for anything.

purchased the image from the same photo library.
When I was at Imagebank, we were aware of a number of images which a few libraries had.
I have had a quick look at the Getty website (http://www.gettyimages.com/), but there were too many to have a thorough look.
But it is definitely a stock shot.
How cheesy.
