I do agree that a nude pic is unprofessional and that it is sufficient grounds for discontinuation, but I disagree with your characterization of its symbolic meaning.

I think that there is benign and beneficial pleasure to be had in a limited objectification of any sex, in the appropriate contexts; (e.g. in pornography and sexual work, in idol worship, in sexual kink-play, etc., with willing and informed participants). It's just that this is not an appropriate context.
