When publishing their January 30th 2018 report, the National Council on Disability (NCD) had recognized that [1] “affirmative and effective consent” is being taught to (domestic and international) 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 of the U.S.A (whether domestic or international) 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 (of the U.S.A) 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 (of the U.S.A); [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.” 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.”
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 “affirmative and effective 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 Department of Justice (DOJ) Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have informed Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W that (his alma mater) Westminster College had extended an invitation to their then Director William Webster to “deliver the 1987 Commencement Address on Sunday, May 17th 1987 at 2:30 P.M.” The invitation extended by Westminster College on August 29th 1986 came approximately 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 Central Intelligence Agency (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. For your information, 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 Webster is an alumnus of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri). According to the 2019 – 2020 Student Handbook published by Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri), “the college has comprehensive, intentional, and integrated programming, initiatives, strategies, and campaigns that are intended to end sexual misconduct, dating / domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Programs to prevent sexual misconduct, dating/domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking include both primary prevention and awareness programs directed at incoming students and new employees and ongoing prevention and awareness campaigns directed at students and employees. The ongoing educational programs are overseen by the Title IX Coordinator / Director of Human Resources and Vice-President / Dean of Student Life. All prevention programs are [1] culturally relevant, inclusive of diverse communities and identities, sustainable, responsive to community needs, and empirically based and assessed for value, effectiveness, or outcome; [2] in consideration of environmental risk and protective factors as they occur on the individual relationship, institutional community and societal levels; [3] accessible to students, faculty and staff and accommodated based upon one’s ability status, language, and/or learning style.”
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) 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; 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 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 “Plaintiff” and/or “Defendant” for his published works on OSF while the so-called “web” took on the role of “Judge, Jury and Executioner.” More importantly, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W had started to publish some of his correspondence with agents of the U.S government on the circumstances that led up to the enactment of the Jeanne Clery Act on (or around) November 8th 1990 because of a commitment he had made that he would disseminate any and all responsive U.S government records within their possession to members of the general public and representatives of the media at no financial expense to them. To the best of his ability, W has fulfilled this commitment by disseminating (at no financial expense to representatives of the media and members of the general public) the most pertinent records on the circumstances that led up to the enactment of the Jeanne Clery Act including but not limited to his correspondence with the United States Department of Education (DoED) as well as the decision of the DoED to withhold many hundreds of pages of documents about Jeanne Clery’s time as an undergraduate student of Lehigh University between August 1985 and April 1986 during their processing of the FOIA request they had assigned Case Number.: 21 – 00103 - F. Upon initiating contact with OSF about the filtering and distortion of his journal article with the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) 10.17605/OSF.IO/48M6Y; Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W was sorry to learn on (or around) January 08th 2024 that OSF was incapable of preventing the filtering and distortion of journal articles published on the OSF platform. Via email dated January 05th 2024, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W has informed OSF that the filtering and distortion of journal articles published on OSF encourage independent scholars, members of the general public, representatives of the media and non-profit organizations to engage in self-censorship for fear of having their written content deliberately misinterpreted on Internet Search Engines such as AOL, Bing/MSN and Yahoo. According to information posted on the website of DataCite Commons, journal articles published and/or added on the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) - Zenodo, Figshare, OSF and ORCID “maximize their usefulness for the entire research and scholarly communications community” when the data within it is not modified “so as to make it false, incomplete, defamatory, or misleading.”
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 W about Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 include but are not limited to the following. 1) What were American colleges and universities obligations pursuant to Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972? Were American colleges and universities required by law to condemn violence committed against women irrespective of their racial backgrounds, their sexual orientations, their religious affiliations, their national origins and/or their disability status following the enactment of Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972? If yes, were American colleges and 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 American colleges and universities begin informing their students what constitute “affirmative and effective consent” in the years following the enactment of Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972? If not, when did American colleges and universities begin to inform their incoming freshmen and transfer students about the concepts of “affirmative and effective consent?” Did American colleges and universities begin teaching the concepts of “affirmative and effective consent” to their students following the rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery (on April 5th 1986)? If yes, why have American colleges and universities waited so long following the enactment of Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 to inform their students what constitutes “affirmative and effective consent?” 3) Are American colleges and universities discussions pertaining to what constitutes “affirmative and effective consent” consistent with Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 if they are first informing their incoming new students about the rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery? Are American colleges and universities discussions pertaining to what constitutes “affirmative and effective consent” consistent with their academic integrity policy if they are first informing their incoming new 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 or an 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 or African American man (in American colleges and 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)?
As a matter of principle, W unequivocally condemns violence committed against girls and women irrespective of their racial backgrounds, their sexual orientations, their national origins, their religious affiliations, their disability status or their age groups. Be well. Take care. Keep yourselves at arms distance.
