In 1978, American artist George Segal was commissioned by the Mildred Andrews Fund of Cleveland, in agreement with the University, to create a bronze sculpture in commemoration of the shootings, but before its completion, the sculpture was refused by the university administration, who deemed its subject matter (the biblical Abraham poised to sacrifice his son Isaac) too controversial. Segal's completed cast-from-life bronze sculpture, "Abraham and Isaac: In Memory of May 4, 1970, Kent State", was instead accepted in 1979 by Princeton University and currently resides there between the university chapel and library.
