"Web" Unwelcome Filtering of Written Publications on the Jeanne Clery Act

At the time Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W started to publish some of his written content on how he was (in the month of January 2010 as an undergraduate student Westminster College) informed about the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery before being told what constitutes affirmative and effective consent in healthy sexual relationships; Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W had not signed any binding agreement that subjected his written content on Open Science Framework (OSF) to evaluation, examination and unsolicited comments intended to u201csummarizeu201d what the work is about.

  2. 5/24/24, 11:55 AM OSF | About the “Web” Unwelcome and Distorted Filtering of Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W Key Questions on Title IX of the Educatio… At the time Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W began to publish some of his written content on how he was (in the month of January 2010) informed what constitutes “a?rmative and e?ective consent” in healthy sexual relationships after being told about the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery; Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W had not signed any binding agreement that subjected his written content on Open Science Framework (OSF) to evaluation, examination and unsolicited comments intended to “summarize” what the work is about. In other words, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W has never agreed to take on the role of the “Student” for his published works on the OSF while the so-called “web” took on the role of “Professor.” Likewise, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W has never agreed to take on the role of “Plainti?” and/or “Defendant” for his published works on OSF while the so-called “web” took on the role of “Judge, Jury and Executioner.” Upon initiating contact with OSF about the ?ltering and distortion of his journal article with the Digital Object Identi?er (DOI) 10.17605/OSF.IO/48M6Y, Michael Ayele (a.k.a) W was sorry to learn on (or around) January 08th 2024 that OSF was incapable of preventing the ?ltering and distortion of journal articles published on the OSF platform on ISE such as AOL, Bing/MSN and Yahoo. Via email dated January 05th 2024, Michael Ayele (a.k.a) W has informed OSF that the ?ltering and distortion of journal articles published on OSF encourages independent scholars/members of the general public/ representatives of the media/ non-pro?t organizations to engage in self-censorship for fear of having their written content deliberately misinterpreted on ISE such as AOL, Bing/MSN and Yahoo! According to a January 30th 2018 report published by the National Council on Disability (NCD), [1] “a?rmative and e?ective consent” is being taught to college/university students of the United States of America (U.S.A) during the course of their Freshmen year, [2] college/university students are informed about “healthy sexual relationships” during the course of their 1st (?rst) year of post-secondary academic education; [3] 20% (twenty percent) of women were sexually assaulted in a college/university setting by the time they reached their Senior year in Calendar Year 2005; [4] 32% (thirty two percent) of women with a disability were sexually assaulted during Calendar Years 2014 and 2015 in a college/university setting; [5] sexual assault “is a public health and public safety concern with far reaching implications;” [6] sexual assault is a “deeply personal violation,” which “leaves physical and emotional impacts that change the lives of victims;” [7] sexual assault causes “long term physical, psychological, and emotional e?ects, including depression, post-traumatic stress, thoughts of suicide, ?ashbacks, and sleep disorders.” The NCD have also noted in their January 30th 2018 report that “Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any education program or activity that receives federal funding. Under Title IX, discrimination on the basis of sex can include sexual harassment, rape and sexual assault. A college or university that receives federal funds may be held legally responsible when it knows about and ignores sexual harassment or assault in its programs or activities. As of September 22nd 2017, colleges can adopt various standards of proof in sexual assault cases, from the lowest standard of proof (preponderance of evidence) to a higher standard of proof (clear and convincing evidence). Title IX, like the Clery Act, also requires college employers that address sexual assault to have proper training and to train the campus community in its policies and procedures regarding sexual assault.”  It is the judgment of Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W that the rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery continues to leave several key questions about Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 unaddressed. The questions asked by Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W about Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 include but are not limited to https://osf.io/8nu5b/#! 2/9

  3. 5/24/24, 11:55 AM OSF | About the “Web” Unwelcome and Distorted Filtering of Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W Key Questions on Title IX of the Educatio… the following. 1) What are/were colleges/universities in the U.S.A obligations pursuant to Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972? Were colleges/universities throughout the U.S.A required by law to condemn violence committed against women irrespective of their racial backgrounds, their sexual orientations, their religious a?liations, their national origins and/or their disability status following the enactment of Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972? If yes, were colleges/universities required to inform their students (beginning Calendar Year 1973) what constitutes appropriate sexual boundaries pursuant to Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972? 2) Did colleges/universities throughout the U.S.A begin informing their students what constitute “a?rmative and e?ective consent” in the years following the enactment of Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972? If not, when did colleges/universities begin to inform their incoming freshmen/transfer students about the concepts of “a?rmative and e?ective consent?” Did colleges/universities throughout the U.S.A begin teaching the concepts of “a?rmative and e?ective consent” to their incoming freshmen/transfer students following the rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery (dated April 05th 1986)? If yes, why have colleges/universities throughout the U.S.A waited so long following the enactment of Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 to inform their students what constitutes “a?rmative and e?ective consent?” 3) Are colleges/universities discussions pertaining to what constitutes “a?rmative and e?ective consent” consistent with Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 if they are ?rst informing their incoming/freshmen students about the rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery? Are colleges/universities discussions pertaining to what constitutes “a?rmative and e?ective consent” consistent with their academic integrity policy if they are ?rst informing their incoming freshmen/transfer students about the rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery? 4) Were there forces out there in the 1970s and the 1980s looking for a case where a Black/African American man rapes and murders a Caucasian woman for the purpose of enacting a law similar to the Jeanne Clery Act? Was the enactment of the Jeanne Clery Act the result of racist and sexist individuals coming together for the purpose of [a] preventing racial minorities from climbing the social ladder through academic education; [b] cracking down on interracial relationships particularly between a Caucasian woman and a Black/African American man (in American colleges/universities); [c] not applying the same standards in circumstances where a Caucasian man sexually assaults a woman from a racial minority (as in the case of Brock Turner and Chanel Miller following her rape on January 18th 2015 at the campus of Stanford University)? Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W is a Bachelor of Arts (B.A) Degree graduate of Westminster College (located in Fulton, Missouri) who was in January 2010 informed what constitutes “a?rmative and e?ective consent” in healthy sexual relations after being told about the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery. Via email dated March 07th 2022, the DOJ (FBI) have informed Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W that (his alma mater) Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) had extended an invitation to their then Director William Webster to “deliver the 1987 Commencement Address on Sunday, May 17, 1987 at 2:30 P.M.” The invitation extended by Westminster College on August 29th 1986 came approximately ?ve (5) months after the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery on the campus of Lehigh University (located in the State of Pennsylvania). In another email dated November 12th 2020, the FBI had informed Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W that they had transferred the case of Jeanne Ann Clery rape and murder to the CIA on (or around) June 11th 1992. However, via postal mail correspondence that was addressed to Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W, the CIA have denied ever being “assigned” the case of Jeanne Ann Clery on (or around) June 11th 1992. It is the opinion of Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W that the letters sent to him by the FBI (on or around November 12th 2020) and the CIA (on or around May 21st 2021) were inconsistent with one another.

  4. 5/24/24, 11:55 AM OSF | About the “Web” Unwelcome and Distorted Filtering of Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W Key Questions on Title IX of the Educatio… William Webster was Director of the FBI from 1978 to 1987. He was also Director of the CIA from 1987 to 1991. His father Thomas H. Webster is an alumnus of Westminster College. As a matter of principle, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W unequivocally condemns violence committed against women irrespective of their racial backgrounds, their sexual orientations, their national origins, their religious a?liations and/or their disability status. Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W regrets the very bizarre frenzy that has surrounded his written publications pertaining to [1] how he was in the month of January 2010 informed what constitutes “a?rmative and e?ective consent” in healthy sexual relationships after being told about the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery when he was an undergraduate student of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri); [2] how he was in the month of June 2016 informed (through various news media outlets) that Brock Allen Turner would likely spend 90 (ninety) days at the Santa Clara County Jail even though he was on (or around) March 30th 2016 found guilty of sexually assaulting Chanel Miller behind a dumpster on the campus of Stanford University (located in the State of California); [3] how he was on (or around) March 07th 2022 informed by the DOJ (FBI) of an invitation that had been extended by Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) to William Webster on (or around) August 29th 1986: approximately 5 (?ve) months after the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery; [4] how he was on (or around) November 12th 2020 informed by the DOJ (FBI) of their decision to re-assign the case of Jeanne Ann Clery rape and murder to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) on (or around) June 11th 1992; [5] the postal mail letter sent to him by the CIA on (or around) May 21st 2021 denying that they were ever transferred the case of Jeanne Ann Clery rape and murder by the FBI on (or around) June 11th 1992; [6] the refusal of the DOJ (FBI) to deny that William Webster was Director of the FBI from 1978 to 1987; [7] the refusal of the CIA to deny that William Webster was Director of the CIA from 1987 to 1991; [8] his questions about Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 (particularly given the way he was in January 2010 very formally informed what constitutes “a?rmative and e?ective consent” in healthy sexual relationships); [9] his questions about Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 (particularly given the statements made by the NCD in their January 30th 2018 report). Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W takes full responsibility for [1] the statements he has made with regards to how he was informed about “a?rmative and e?ective consent in healthy sexual relations” on the campus of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) when he was a full-time undergraduate student between the months of January through May 2010; [2] the statements he has made with regards to how he was informed about the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery on the campus of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) when he was a full-time undergraduate student between the months of January through May 2010; [3] the questions he has asked about Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972.

Ayele (a.k.a) W Publication on Open Science Framework (OSF) Encouraging Self-Censorship Hello, This is Michael A. Ayele sending this message though I now go by W. You may call me W. I am writing this letter to Open Science Framework (OSF) because it has recently come to my attention that one of the journal articles I had published on OSF was being filtered and distorted on the AOL Internet Search Engine (ISE). The journal article, which I had published on OSF that is being distorted on the AOL ISE had been assigned the following Digital Object Identifier (DOI).: 10.17605/OSF.IO/48M6Y As you can see from the screenshots I have taken (which are hereby attached in the body of this email), my written content on OSF has been filtered by the AOL ISE without my consent and approval. Unfortunately, this is not the first time that the written content I have published on OSF has gone on to be filtered. Via email dated December 21st 2023, I had informed OSF of how another journal article I had previously published on OSF was being filtered on the AOL ISE. In my opinion, the “web” filtering of academic journal articles from U.S government sources about the way American undergraduate students (whether domestic and/or international) are informed about “affirmative and effective consent” in healthy sexual relationships very much encourages self-censorship if the filtering is either unsolicited and/or goes on to distort the findings of the research. Likewise, the “web” filtering of academic journal articles on the circumstances that led up to the enactment of the Jeanne Clery Act very much discourages honest intellectual inquiry of recent American history if the filtering is either unsolicited and/or goes on to distort the findings of the research. Can you explain how it is possible for the journal articles I have published on OSF to go on to be filtered and distorted by ISE such as AOL and possibly others? In other words, can you explain how it is possible that the website of OSF is not being filtered by ISE such as AOL, but the research content that is being published on OSF is being filtered by ISE such as AOL and possibly others? Be well. Take care. Keep yourselves at arms distance. https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ik=be10e4fd3f&view=pt&search=all&permmsgid=msg-a:r-7841857789180961371&simpl=msg-a:r-78418577891809… 1/3

I am not unhappy with publishing some of my written content pertaining to Jeanne Ann Clery (11/23/1966 - 04/05/1986), the Jeanne Clery Act and how I was informed what constitutes "affirmative and effective consent" on the Open Science Framework (OSF) platform. What I am taking issue with is how my published journal articles on OSF are being distorted to intentionally not capture the letter and spirit of my written content. In my judgment, I think there's a huge difference between saying "Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W has in the past written about the circumstances that led up to the enactment of the Jeanne Clery Act and how he was informed what constitutes 'affirmative and effective consent'" and saying "Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W has in the past written about the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery as well as the role of 'affirmative and effective consent' in healthy sexual relations." I have done the former and I take full responsibility for doing that, but the latter is how the journal article I had published on OSF ended up being filtered on the Internet by the so-called "Web." To the extent of your knowledge, has anyone previously complained with OSF about their journal articles on your platform going on to be distorted on the Internet by the so-called "Web?"

As you maybe aware, the National Council on Disability (NCD) had on January 30th 2018 published a report in which they had recognized that [1] “affirmative and effective consent” is being taught to college and university students of the United States of America (U.S.A) during the course of their Freshmen year, [2] college and university students are informed about “healthy sexual relationships” during the course of their 1st year of post-secondary academic education; [3] 20% of women were sexually assaulted in a college or university setting by the time they reached their Senior year in Calendar Year 2005; [4] 32% of women with a disability were sexually assaulted during Calendar Years 2014 and 2015 in a college or university setting; [5] sexual assault “is a public health and public safety concern with far reaching implications;” [6] sexual assault is a “deeply personal violation,” which “leaves physical and emotional impacts that change the lives of victims;” [7] sexual assault causes “long term physical, psychological, and emotional effects, including depression, post-traumatic stress, thoughts of suicide, flashbacks, and sleep disorders.” The NCD have also noted that their January 30th 2018 report sought to “raise awareness of sexual assault (…) on college campuses by examining college policies and practices.” The NCD have also noted that their January 30th 2018 report sought to “raise awareness of sexual assault (…) on college campuses by examining college policies and practices.” Furthermore,they write that “Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any education program or activity that receives federal funding. Under Title IX, discrimination on the basis of sex can include sexual harassment, rape and sexual assault. A college or university that receives federal funds may be held legally responsible when it knows about and ignores sexual harassment or assault in its programs or activities. As of September 22nd 2017, colleges can adopt various standards of proof in sexual assault cases, from the lowest standard of proof (preponderance of evidence) to a higher standard of proof (clear and convincing evidence). Title IX, like the Clery Act, also requires college employers that address sexual assault to have proper training and to train the campus community in its policies and procedures regarding sexual assault.” Given the statements made by the NCD in their January 30th 2018 report, I have in the past filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with them for the purpose of inquiring [1] if they have held conversations about the circumstances that led up to the enactment of the Jeanne Clery Act on (or around) November 08th 1990; [2] when American colleges and universities began informing their undergraduate students about "affirmative and effective consent;" [3] whether American colleges and universities began informing their undergraduate students about "affirmative and effective consent" following the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery on the campus of Lehigh University (located in the State of Pennsylvania); [4] about American colleges and universities obligations pursuant to Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972. https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ik=be10e4fd3f&view=pt&search=all&permmsgid=msg-a:r-8198215149276757591&simpl=msg-a:r-81982151492767… 1/3

Ayele sending this message though I now go by W and I prefer to be referred to as such. As you have correctly noted, I have in the past used the platforms of several websites for the purpose of publishing my content. However, I have done this as part of a binding written commitment I made to various agencies of the U.S government not to use any disclosures they make to me for commercial purposes. I have also made a binding written commitment to various agencies of the U.S government to widely disseminate responsive records they provide to me. After reading your email a little earlier, I was given the impression that you were criticizing me for following through on commitments I made. I was also given the impression that you were criticizing for not being exclusive with a publisher. I could be mistaken about this impression I got after reading your email, but if you are subtly criticizing me for not being exclusive with a publisher, I find your criticism to be unjust. For instance, I recently learned that several of my written publications about American post-secondary academic education with regards to "affirmative and effective consent" (and other related issues) were being redistributed by others with supposed ties to the University of Missouri (in a manner that was inconsistent with DataCite Commons guidelines). But even the University of Missouri say on their website that to "maximize your research identity and impact," papers should be published on the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) - Zenodo and Figshare. Please see here.: --> https://libraryguides.missouri.edu/researchidentity/ repositories Thus, the University of Missouri also admits (at least implicitly on its website) that criticizing people for not being exclusive with a publisher is unjust. Is it the opinion of Figshare that it's wrong to publish content on Figshare, Zenodo and other platforms without any form of exclusivity on issues related to (1) my own post-secondary academic past and (2) my professional past? Does Figshare have a policy specifically intended to combat self-censorship in academia when it pertains to issues related to (1) the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery; (2) the circumstances leading up to the enactment of the Jeanne Clery Act; (3) Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972; (4) papers written by people who have graduated with a Bachelor's Degree from the United States of America (U.S.A)? I hope you will answer these questions before I make a decision on how to proceed.

As you maybe aware, the National Council on Disability (NCD) had on January 30th 2018 published a report in which they had recognized that [1] “affirmative and effective consent” is being taught to college and university students of the United States of America (U.S.A) during the course of their Freshmen year, [2] college and university students are informed about “healthy sexual relationships” during the course of their 1st year of post-secondary academic education; [3] 20% of women were sexually assaulted in a college or university setting by the time they reached their Senior year in Calendar Year 2005; [4] 32% of women with a disability were sexually assaulted during Calendar Years 2014 and 2015 in a college or university setting; [5] sexual assault “is a public health and public safety concern with far reaching implications;” [6] sexual assault is a “deeply personal violation,” which “leaves physical and emotional impacts that change the lives of victims;” [7] sexual assault causes “long term physical, psychological, and emotional effects, including depression, post- traumatic stress, thoughts of suicide, flashbacks, and sleep disorders.” The NCD have also noted that their January 30th 2018 report sought to “raise awareness of sexual assault (…) on college campuses by examining college policies and practices.” The NCD have also noted that their January 30th 2018 report sought to “raise awareness of sexual assault (…) on college campuses by examining college policies and practices.” Furthermore,they write https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ik=be10e4fd3f&view=pt&search=all&permmsgid=msg-a:r-8911507668752029038&dsqt=1&simpl=msg-a:r-89115076… 2/3

  26. 4/24/24, 5:35 PM Gmail - Re: "Web" Filtering of Journal Article Published on Figshare [479216] that “Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any education program or activity that receives federal funding. Under Title IX, discrimination on the basis of sex can include sexual harassment, rape and sexual assault. A college or university that receives federal funds may be held legally responsible when it knows about and ignores sexual harassment or assault in its programs or activities. As of September 22nd 2017, colleges can adopt various standards of proof in sexual assault cases, from the lowest standard of proof (preponderance of evidence) to a higher standard of proof (clear and convincing evidence). Title IX, like the Clery Act, also requires college employers that address sexual assault to have proper training and to train the campus community in its policies and procedures regarding sexual assault.” Given the statements made by the NCD in their January 30th 2018 report, I have in the past filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with them for the purpose of inquiring [1] if they have held conversations about the circumstances that led up to the enactment of the Jeanne Clery Act on (or around) November 08th 1990; [2] when American colleges and universities began informing their undergraduate students about "affirmative and effective consent;" [3] whether American colleges and universities began informing their undergraduate students about "affirmative and effective consent" following the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery on the campus of Lehigh University (located in the State of Pennsylvania); [4] about American colleges and universities obligations pursuant to Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972. As an international Bachelor of Arts (B.A) Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) who was in January 2010 informed what constitutes "affirmative and effective consent" in healthy sexual relationships after being told about the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery; I have in good faith published on Figshare my correspondence with the NCD (and other agencies of the U.S government) on the issues hereby mentioned above. I have also created tags on Figshare for the purpose of helping anyone who's doing research on American post-secondary academic education with regards to "affirmative and effective consent." Given the very serious and grave nature of the issues I have dealt with in my journal article that was published on Figshare, I was hoping you'd address the following questions. 1) Can you explain how it is possible for it (my journal article) to be made light of and have it appear on the Bing / MSN ISE alongside tags such as "sexual dysfunction" which is not even listed on the journal article? Is there anything you can do about this? 2) Can Figshare prevent the filtering and distortion of journal articles that are published on your platform on ISE such as AOL and/or Bing / MSN and or Yahoo? I look forward to your response. I will encourage that you be well. Stay well. Take care. Keep yourselves at arms distance. Michael A.

  39. 3/19/24, 10:37 AM Gmail - Registering DOIs with DataCite Commons (DOI).: 10.17605/OSF.IO/GUZQB. Retrievable here.: https://osf.io/guzqb/ Please see the attached file of the screenshots I took visualizing how my OSF journal articles were redistributed by DataCite Commons. The reason I am contacting you is because I was hoping you’d address questions I have about the relationship that exists between OSF and DataCite Commons. 1) Has OSF concluded with DataCite Commons some sort of licensing agreement that enables your platform to redistribute the journal articles and the research papers, which are published on OSF? If yes, can provide me with the terms and conditions of the contractual agreements that were concluded between OSF and DataCite Commons? 2) What exactly is the nature of the relationship between DataCite Commons and the European Union (E.U)? Will you disclose the terms and conditions of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program grant agreements No.: 777523? 3) How did you exactly come across some of the journal articles and research papers I have published on OSF? 4) Does DataCite Commons help individual researchers create digital object identifiers (DOI) for their research papers and their journal articles? Can individual researchers register with Fabrica and create DOIs for their research papers and their journal articles? Be well. Take care. Keep yourselves at arms distance. Michael A.
