4220	Ayele (a.k.a) W	Hello, This is Michael A. Ayele sending this message though I now go by W and I prefer to be referred to as such. I am writing this letter for the purpose of filing a FOIA request with the City of Ann Arbor, Michigan. The bases for this records request are [1] the decision of the United States government to designate the month of March as �Women�s History Month�[i]and [2] the very odd February 21st 2026 email sent to Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W by Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri). [ii] I) Requested Records What I am requesting for prompt disclosure are records in your possession detailing your discussions about [1] Women�s History Month as an event which has in the 21st Century served to raise awareness of the sexism women encounter in their efforts to be successful in their academic and professional careers; [2] the manner in which your local/state government agency plans to commemorate Women�s History Month this Calendar Year 2026; [3] Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) as a post-secondary academic institution which has (i) historically served and catered exclusively to white men; (ii) on (or around) August 29th 1986 extended an invitation to former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director William Webster: approximately 5 (five) months after the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery; (iii) on (or around) February 21st 2026 sent a very peculiar email to alumnus Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W informing him that Larry P. Arnn would be lecturing undergraduate students (at Westminster College) on March 06th 2026; [4] Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a.) W as a Black Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) Degree graduate of Westminster College who (i) became thoroughly convinced that Hillsdale College is a white Christian fanatic post-secondary academic institution after reading the October 25th 2023 complaint filed by Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen; (ii) became thoroughly convinced that Hillsdale College violated the Supreme Court precedent established in Bob Jones University v. United States after reading the October 25th 2023 complaint filed by Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen; (iii) became thoroughly convinced that Hillsdale College violated the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) after reading the October 25th 2023 complaint filed by Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen;[iii] (iv) is thoroughly convinced that the provisions of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) require American colleges and universities that receive Title IX funding to take decisions that are in solidarity with women (similarly situated to Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen) who have experienced sexual violence at Hillsdale College (or other similarly situated American colleges); (v) is thoroughly convinced that the decision of Westminster College to invite Larry P. Arnn to lecture undergraduate students (in a college that receives Title IX funding) was not an act of solidarity towards women (similarly situated to Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen) who were raped at Hillsdale College (or other similarly situated American colleges); (vi) is thoroughly convinced that Westminster College was in violation of VAWA on (or around) March 06th 2026 because of their decision to allow Larry P. Arnn to lecture undergraduate students particularly after Hillsdale College gross mishandling of the sexual misconduct complaints filed by Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen; (vii) has taken the decision not to attend any of the events organized by Westminster College on (or around) March 06th 2026 because of their tactless and inappropriate invitation of Larry P. Arnn that was in violation of VAWA; [5] the decision of the AOL and Bing/MSN internet search engines (ISE) to very inappropriately filter and distort Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a.) W�s correspondence with the United States government on Women�s History Month by generating unwelcome and unapproved queries such as �Michael Ayele Women�s History Month,� ��Michael Ayele�s Impact on Women�s Rights,� �Michael Ayele�s Impact on Gender Equity,� �Michael Ayele�s Role in Gender Equality,� �Michael Ayele�s Role in Jeanne Clery�s case,� �Michael A. Ayele involvement in Jeanne Clery�s case,� �Michael Ayele Jeanne Clery investigation questions,� �Michael Ayele CIA case transfer,� �FBI-CIA Jeanne Clery case,� �FBI and CIA�s role in Jeanne Clery�s case,� �Michael Ayele�s advocacy for campus safety,� �Michael Ayele FOI records,� ��Michael Ayele Wiki.� [iv] II) Request for a Fee Waiver and Expedited Processing ��� The public has a compelling and legitimate interest in this information because: 1) Women�s History Month is an event that (i) was first nationally celebrated in 1981 when Congress passed Pub. L. 97�28, which authorized and requested the President to proclaim the week beginning March 07th 1982 as �Women�s History Week;� (ii) celebrates the contributions and achievements women have made over the course of American history in a variety of fields. 2) Women�s History Month is an event which has in the 21st Century served to shed a spotlight on the sexism and misogyny women encounter in their efforts to be successful in their academic and professional careers. 3) The requested records will shed a spotlight on the impact sexism has had on women such as Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen (when they were full-time undergraduate students at Hillsdale College). 4) The requested records will help the public ascertain if your local/state government agency has held substantive conversations on the sexism and misogyny women encounter during the course of their undergraduate academic careers (prior to formally joining the labor workforce). 5) The requested records will help the public ascertain if your local/state government agency has held substantive conversations about the need to condemn violence committed against women irrespective of the woman�s racial background, sexual orientation, national origin, religious affiliation and/or disability status. 6) The requested records will help the public ascertain if your local/state government agency has held substantive conversations about the decision of American colleges and universities to selectively enforce the provisions of FERPA after a woman is raped on campus. 7) The requested records will shed light upon the very odd email that was sent to Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a.) W by Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) on (or around) February 21st 2026. 8) On (or around) February 21st 2026, Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) had sent a very peculiar email to alumnus Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a.) W informing him that Larry P. Arnn was going to be lecturing Westminster College undergraduate students on March 06th 2026. As you are likely aware, Larry P. Arnn was President of Hillsdale College when (i) Danielle Villareal was raped on that Michigan campus on (or around) August 29th 2021; (ii) Grace Chen was raped on that Michigan campus on (or around) November 22nd 2021.� 9) The requested records will shed light upon the decision of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) to extend an invitation to former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) William Webster on (or around) August 29th 1986: approximately 5 (five) months after the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery.� 10) The requested records will shed a spotlight about the manner in which internet search engines (ISE) such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo have filtered and distorted Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a.) W�s correspondence with the United States government about Women�s History Month. Expedited processing is justified because: 1) Women History Month is an event which has in the 21st Century served to shed a spotlight on the sexism women encounter in their efforts to be successful in their academic and professional careers. 2) There�s absolutely no justification for an incident of sexism on an American college or university campus (or elsewhere). 3) There�s absolutely no justification for incidents of sexual assault such as those that Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen were the victim of on (or around) August 29th 2021 and November 22nd 2021.� 4) The decision of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) to invite Larry P. Arnn to lecture undergraduate students at Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) was very tactless and inappropriate because of the way Hillsdale College (Hillsdale, Michigan) grossly mishandled the sexual misconduct complaints filed by Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen. 5) The decision of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) to invite Larry P. Arnn to lecture undergraduate students at Westminster College was an insult to survivors of sexual assault who have had their sexual misconduct complaints very grossly mishandled. 6) The decision of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) to invite Larry P. Arnn to lecture undergraduate students at Westminster College was an insult to survivors of sexual assault who were retaliated upon for reporting the violence they have suffered. 7) The decision of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) to invite Larry P. Arnn to lecture undergraduate students at Westminster College is contrary to safe and positive options usually carried out by (anti-racist and anti-sexist) organizations/individuals to (i) prevent harm; (ii) intervene after a documented incident of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking.� 8) The decision of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) to invite Larry P. Arnn to lecture undergraduate students at Westminster College was contrary to the provisions of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). 9) The National Council on Disability (NCD) had on (or around) January 30th 2018 expressed very grave concerns about American colleges and universities using FERPA as a pretext to conceal the outcomes of sexual violence cases � thereby thwarting congressional intent and compromising public safety. [v] 10) The issues presented in this records request raise very serious questions about the integrity of American colleges and universities whenever they become informed of the rape of a woman by a white man. 11) The issues presented in this records request raise very serious questions about the integrity of American colleges and universities whenever they become informed of the rape of a woman by a Black and/or African American man. 12) The issues presented in this records request will shed a spotlight on the hysteria that exists on American college and university campuses whenever a white woman is raped by a Black and/or African American man. 13) The issues presented in this records request will shed light about the manner in which American college and university campuses will seek to downplay the severity (and seriousness) of violent crimes committed against women particularly when that crime has been committed by a white man. 14) Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a.) W is a Black former international student of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) who has witnessed American college and university campuses seeking to downplay the severity (and seriousness) of violent crimes committed against women particularly when that crime has been committed by a white man. 15) Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a.) W is a Black former international student of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) who has witnessed many double standards in the enforcement of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).� 16) Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a.) W is a Black former international student of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) who has experienced racism (and discrimination) while living in the U.S. on an F-1 visa between January 2010 and July 2016. 17) The American Psychological Association (APA) had in the month of February 2021 recognized that (i) racism is not limited to racist ideas, attributions, expectations, assumptions, and behaviors held by individuals; (ii) racism has been an enduring, insidious, and pervasive feature of the United States (U.S.) landscape; (iii) racism has shaped and undermined almost every aspect of U.S society, including our laws, policies, educational systems, customs, and cultural narratives, weakening our political and civil institutions and creating many political and social fissures; (iv) racism intersects with other social and personal identities (e.g., age, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ability status, socioeconomic status, etc.) in ways that compound experiences of oppression among diverse groups in the form of sexism, heterosexism, ableism; (v) white privilege is unearned power that is afforded to white people on the basis of status rather than earned merit and protects white people from the consequences of being racist and benefitting from systemic racism. [vi]� In my judgment, the facts presented in this request for a fee waiver and expedited processing will not bolster public confidence in the activities, the engagements and the priorities of internet search engines (ISE) such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo because they have previously filtered and distorted Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a.) W�s correspondence with the United States government on the commemoration of Women�s History Month. Unfortunately, I regret to inform you that the decision of ISE to filter and distort Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a.) W�s correspondence with the U.S government about the commemoration of Women�s History Month [1] was not an isolated incident, but part of a repeated pattern; [2] has served to obfuscate Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a.) W�s unconditional condemnation of the sexism he had the displeasure to witness when he was living in the United States of America (USA) on an F-1 visa; [3] has served to obscure Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a.) W�s unequivocal condemnation of the misogyny he had the displeasure to witness after he left the U.S.A in the month of July 2016; [4] has served to exacerbate racism and discrimination online, causing direct harm to the name, the image and the likeness of Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a.) W. � If truth be told, the facts presented in my request for a fee waiver and expedited processing will also not bolster public confidence in the activities, the engagements and the priorities of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri). Anecdotally, (as you may be aware,) I went to the U.S.A (for the first time of my life) in the month of December 2009 on an F-1 visa after agreeing to pursue my undergraduate academic career at Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri). When I arrived at Westminster College as an international student (in the month of January 2010), I was given a care-package that included, among other things, Westminster College�s Student Handbook, and I was strongly advised to read that Student Handbook which I did. Look, the Student Handbook of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) is unambiguous about FERPA, and it clearly states that this federal law [1] enables the disclosure of students� academic and disciplinary records in various circumstances; [2] requires the college to be forthcoming with the final results of disciplinary proceedings to female victims of sexual violence.[vii] As previously noted, FERPA was enacted into law on (or around) August 21st 1974 and took effect on (or around) November 19th 1974. Since it was enacted into law on (or around) November 19th 1974, FERPA was amended on numerous occasions to strengthen transparency obligations. For instance, the 1990 Campus Security Act and the 1998 Higher Education Amendments Act have amended FERPA to decree that �postsecondary institutions� should be forthcoming with [1] �the final results of any disciplinary proceeding conducted by the institution against the alleged perpetrator of the crime, regardless of the outcome of the proceeding� particularly to an alleged victim of any crime of violence (as defined in U.S Code Title 18, � 16); [2] �the final results of any disciplinary proceeding for a crime of violence or nonforcible sex offense to anyone, including members of the general public, if the institution determines that the student committed a violation of its rules or policies with respect to the crime.� �In other words, these provisions were enacted to prohibit postsecondary academic institutions from using FERPA to conceal the outcomes of sexual violence cases. These provisions of FERPA were also enacted to create a statutory duty for postsecondary academic institutions to be forthcoming with victims, as well as members of the general public on the outcomes of sexual violence cases. In practical terms, FERPA required (and continues to require) Hillsdale College to be forthcoming about the �investigation� that the college claims to have conducted following the rapes of Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen (in August and November 2021). When Hillsdale College refused to provide the final results of the �investigation� they supposedly conducted into the sexual abuse of Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen, Hillsdale College knowingly and willfully violated federal law. [viii] By inviting Larry P. Arnn to lecture undergraduate students, Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) has effectively become complicit in the gross mishandling of the sexual misconduct complaints filed by Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen. Moreover, Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) has elevated Larry P. Arnn from a leader of a white Christian fanatic post-secondary institution to a figure American colleges and universities (that receive Title IX funding) need to admire for his scholastic contributions in political science. In doing so, Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) has made the very grave mistake of shifting attention away from the people who matter most � survivors of sexual violence like Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen. Regrettably, the decision of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) to extend an invitation to Larry P. Arnn to lecture undergraduate students (at Westminster College) has, in essence, served as a distraction from his direct participation in the gross mishandling of the sexual misconduct complaint filed by Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen. For me, this diversion (that was created by Westminster College) was very inappropriate because [1] it undermined the accountability owed to survivors of sexual violence; [2] it contravened the provisions of VAWA which requires Westminster College (as a Title IX-funded post-secondary institution) to seek the input of women such as Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen before inviting individuals implicated in mishandling sexual misconduct complaints. Recently, on (or around) November 19th 2025, the United States government has enacted into law the Jeffrey Epstein Transparency Act in order to shed a spotlight on the individuals who were [1] in the orbit of Jeffrey Epstein; [2] complicit the many perturbing depravities of Jeffrey Epstein. In my opinion, the enactment of this legislation (H.R. 4405) reflects Congress�s new (and evolving) willingness to confront violence against women not merely by prosecuting the primary perpetrators, but also by scrutinizing the networks of influence, enablers, and silent beneficiaries that allow such practices to persist. In other words, H.R. 4405 has signaled to American society (and government) that accountability for sexual violence extends beyond the individual offender to include those who facilitated, concealed, or materially (or professionally) benefited from criminal conduct. The enactment into law of H.R. 4405 is very pertinent to the sexual misconduct complaint filed by Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen because Larry P. Arnn was President of Hillsdale College when these two women were raped on (or around) August 29th 2021 and November 22nd 2021 (respectively). While Larry P. Arnn may not have personally committed acts of sexual violence against Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen, his direct involvement in the gross mishandling of their sexual misconduct complaint should be viewed the same way Larry Summers� email exchanges with Jeffrey Epstein are viewed: as suspicious evidence of complicity that enabled harm to occur.[ix] By participating in, or failing to prevent, the mishandling of these complaints, Larry P. Arnn played an active role in perpetuating the exclusion, marginalization and silencing of rape survivors (who have attended and/or graduated from Hillsdale College). In other words, the actions of Larry P. Arnn do not justify awards or honors from Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri), nor do they make him an appropriate role model for undergraduate students (at Westminster College) who are legally bound [and told like Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W was] to respect FERPA, Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 and VAWA. Endorsing or promoting an individual implicated in the gross mishandling of a sexual misconduct complaint contradicts the legal and ethical obligations of post-secondary institutions to prioritize accountability, survivor protection, and transparency in cases of sexual misconduct. On my end, as a Black B.A. Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) who has witnessed many double standards on matters pertaining to FERPA, I was appalled (and very disappointed) upon learning that Larry P. Arnn was going to be lecturing undergraduate students at Westminster College on March 06th 2026 because it is under his watch that [1] Danielle Villareal (i) was raped on (or around) August 29th 2021; (ii) was retaliated upon for filing a complaint against the sexual abuse she suffered on (or around) August 29th 2021; (iii) was denied access to the final results of disciplinary proceedings that the individual who raped her was not held to account for; [2] Grace Chen (i) was raped on (or around) November 22nd 2021; (ii) was retaliated upon for filing a complaint against the sexual abuse she suffered on (or around) November 22nd 2021; (iii) was denied access to the final results of disciplinary proceedings that the individual who raped her was not held to account for. That�s why I have decided not to attend any of the events organized by Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) on March 06th 2026. The core issues presented in this records request are as follows. 1) Have you had conversations about Women�s History Month as an event which has in the 21st Century served to raise awareness of the sexism and misogyny women encounter in their efforts to be successful in their academic and professional careers? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 2) Does your local/state government agency plan to commemorate Women�s History Month this Calendar Year 2026?

If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 4) Have you had conversations about Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) as a historically white male post-secondary academic institution which had on (or around) August 29th 1986 extended an invitation to former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director William Webster: approximately 5 (five) months after the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 5) Have you had conversations about Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) as a post-secondary academic institution which has on (or around) February 21st 2026 sent a very peculiar email to alumnus Michael A.

If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 6) Have you had conversations about the very strong probability that Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) extended an invitation to Larry P. Arnn to lecture undergraduate students (at Westminster College) because it�s a post-secondary academic institution which has historically served and catered exclusively to white men? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 7) Have you had conversations about the very strong probability that Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) extended an invitation to Larry P. Arnn to lecture undergraduate students (at Westminster College) because it has a culture and tradition of not seeking the input of young people who were adversely impacted by sexism, racism and discrimination during the course of their undergraduate academic careers? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 8) Have you had conversations about Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) as a post-secondary academic institution which has not sought the input of women who have suffered sexism and misogyny at Hillsdale College prior to inviting Larry P. Arnn to lecture undergraduate students (at Westminster College)?

If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 10) Have you had conversations about Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a.)

W as a Black B.A. Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) who has witnessed many double standards in the enforcement of FERPA?

L. 97-28 which authorized and requested the President to proclaim the week beginning March 7, 1982 as �Women�s History Week.� Throughout the next five years, Congress continued to pass joint resolutions designating a week in March as �Women�s History Week.� In 1987 after being petitioned by the National Women�s History Project, Congress passed Pub. L. 100-9 which designated the month of March 1987 as �Women�s History Month.� Between 1988 and 1994, Congress passed additional resolutions requesting and authorizing the President to proclaim March of each year as Women�s History Month. Since 1995, presidents have issued a series of annual proclamations designating the month of March as �Women�s History Month.� These proclamations celebrate the contributions women have made to the United States and recognize the specific achievements women have made over the course of American history in a variety of fields. Women�s History Month.: https://womenshistorymonth.gov/About.html [ii] �The Sinews of Peace� at 80 � Why it Matters Today. Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) February 21st 2026 Email to Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W. [iii] Danielle Villareal is a citizen of Nebraska. She was a Hillsdale student from August 2020 to the spring of 2021. At Hillsdale, Plaintiff Villareal was a Grewcock Scholar who made the Dean�s List every semester, played club soccer and was elected Director of Facilities (for club soccer), and was a member of Hillsdale College Democrats and Pi Beta Phi sorority. (�) On or around August 29th 2021, shortly after returning to Hillsdale for her sophomore year, Plaintiff Villareal was raped by a fellow student and a member of Hillsdale�s baseball team at his apartment which is a five-minute drive away from campus. The assailant propositioned Plaintiff Villareal for sex, and after she declined, she was frightened by the sudden change in his demeanor. Plaintiff Villareal was paralyzed with fear and the assailant proceeded to penetrate her with his penis. The rape concluded only after Plaintiff Villareal told her assailant to stop. After reeling from the assault, Plaintiff Villareal reported the rape a day or two later to the local police. Within days of filing a police report, Plaintiff Villareal then emailed Dean of Men Aaron Peterson that she had been sexually assaulted. Peterson responded, in turn, and instructed her to meet with Mechelle Zarou, an outside lawyer who would investigate the rape. Plaintiff Villareal first met with Zarou the day after she reported her assault to Hillsdale. Hillsdale did not tell Plaintiff Villareal that she could meet with her lawyer before meeting with Zarou. At the meeting, Plaintiff Villareal recounted her assault to Zarou as she nodded and signaled that she understood. Zarou then told Plaintiff Villareal that she was in town to give a presentation on campus about issues including sexual assault, and that Plaintiff Villareal�s story was so similar to a hypothetical she had written that she would now have to change the presentation. When the meeting concluded, Zarou told Plaintiff Villareal that she would next meet with the assailant, and then follow up with Plaintiff Villareal again. Zarou did not interview Villareal�s rapist until months after meeting with Villareal. Villareal�s rapist had not initially been responsive to Zarou�s messages because he had been meeting with several lawyers. Plaintiff Villareal met with Zarou a second time months later. This time, Zarou said the meeting was to go through discrepancies between Plaintiff Villareal�s story and her rapist�s account. Zarou asked Plaintiff Villareal questions about the assault that suggested that she was to blame, such as Villareal�s initiation of romantic contact earlier in the evening. In the course of their conversations, Zarou indicated to Plaintiff Villareal that the rapist maintained that he never asked Plaintiff Villareal if she wanted to have sex, he just penetrated her. Plaintiff Villareal emphasized that she told him she did not want to have sex with him after he asked for consent. On or around October 15th 2021, Plaintiff Villareal and her stepfather met with Zarou for a third time. In this meeting, in which Zarou was at times hostile, she delivered her �findings.� Zarou initially told Plaintiff Villareal and her stepfather that her rapist violated the sexual misconduct policy because he tried to have sex with her after she revoked consent and because he stopped as soon as Plaintiff Villareal withdrew consent, his punishment would not be expulsion. Plaintiff Villareal corrected Zarou that she never gave consent to begin with, Zarou then agreed and reiterated that Plaintiff Villareal�s rapist acted without consent but because he stopped penetrating her when she told him to, he would not be expelled. On or around October 26th 2021, Zarou informed Plaintiff Villareal that Hillsdale placed Plaintiff Villareal�s rapist on social probation, required him to do community service, and suspended him indefinitely from baseball. This punishment was not enforced. On one occasion, Plaintiff Villareal saw her rapist at a party. On another occasion, she saw him walking on campus with his baseball shoes, suggesting he continued to play on the baseball team. When Plaintiff Villareal asked the baseball coaches if he was allowed to practice, they did not answer the question. Plaintiff Villareal inquired about his punishment to the Dean of Women and was told that she was not privy to other students� disciplinary actions, even though Zarou had already told Plaintiff Villareal the punishment Hillsdale gave him. Plaintiff Villareal�s rapist was allowed back onto the baseball team for the second semester, just in time for season to start. Hillsdale�s general counsel, Bob Norton, threatened Plaintiff Villareal�s parents that if she continued to inquire about the investigation and punishment, there would be consequences for her. Norton further suggested that Plaintiff Villareal reported her rape only after she came to regret a consensual encounter. Immediately upon leaving the meeting with Norton, Villareal�s parents felt that Villareal should transfer schools to protect her safety and well-being. Plaintiff Villareal was forced to see her rapist around once a day in passing. Plaintiff Villareal stopped going to parties after she saw him at one. The rape and investigation took a big toll on Plaintiff Villareal. At first, schoolwork was a welcome distraction from the investigation but then Plaintiff Villareal began to suffer from depression and stopped caring about schoolwork. She withdrew from her social life and friendships suffered. She felt numb and had trouble sleeping at night. After Plaintiff left Hillsdale, she started seeing a therapist and was prescribed antidepressants. Grace Chen and Danielle Villareal Civil Action Complaint Against Hillsdale College. Pages 18 - 22. Retrievable here.: https://titleixforall.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Grace-Chen-v.-Hillsdale-College-Complaint.pdf Grace Chen is a citizen of California who began attending Hillsdale College (Hillsdale, Michigan) in the month of August 2021. (�) On or around November 22nd 2021, a few months into her freshman year at Hillsdale, Plaintiff Chen was raped by a fellow Hillsdale track athlete in a dormitory on campus. Despite Plaintiff Chen�s repeated attempts to fend him off, the assailant took off her pants and penetrated her with his fingers. He forced Plaintiff Chen to masturbate his penis and then tried to penetrate Plaintiff Chen with his penis. Plaintiff Chen refused to have sex with the assailant and was terrified throughout the rape. The rape ended only after Plaintiff Chen repeatedly pleaded for the assailant to stop. Chen�s assailant later apologized to her for his actions. Plaintiff Chen was traumatized by the rape. She initially struggled to understand what had happened to her, and after hearing another student on the track team speak about her experience of trying to report sexual assault, Plaintiff Chen realized that she had been raped. On or around February 07th 2022, Plaintiff Chen met with Lindsay Peirce, a school counselor at Hillsdale, to help her process the assault and understand what happened. During the meeting, Peirce confirmed that Plaintiff Chen was sexually assaulted but advised that the school�s Deans would take no action on a report of sexual assault without concrete evidence. Plaintiff Chen felt discouraged by Pierce�s comments, but she decided to report the incident to the Deans because she heard that her rapist might be going after other female students and she did not want someone else to go through what she had been through. On or around March 03rd 2022, Plaintiff Chen met with Dean of Women Rebekah Dell and Associate Dean of Women Stephanie Gravel to discuss her sexual assault. At that meeting, Plaintiff Chen presented the Deans with a written report detailing her assault. In the meeting, Dean Dell indicated that she believed Plaintiff Chen and would review Plaintiff Chen�s report first to make sure that there was nothing in it that her assailant could use against her in a counter-suit, which Plaintiff Chen understood to mean a defamation action. Dean Dell arranged for Plaintiff Chen to meet with Kimberley Graham, an outside lawyer the school was using to investigate the assault. On or around March 24th 2022, in her first meeting with Plaintiff Chen, Graham informed Plaintiff Chen that her assailant did not deny her account. Graham further indicated that the investigation was about guiding the Deans through what disciplinary steps should be taken because Plaintiff Chen�s assailant did not refute her allegations. Graham, however, made inappropriate statements to downplay the severity of the assault, and told Plaintiff Chen that she was fortunate that her assailant did not rape her. Graham also refused to interview witnesses that Plaintiff Chen identified in her written report, in violation of Hillsdale�s �sexual misconduct policy,� purportedly because there were no discrepancies between Plaintiff Chen�s story and her assailant�s. On or around April 05th 2022, Plaintiff Chen met with Graham again. Despite her earlier statements, Graham claimed that Plaintiff Chen was not sexually assaulted because there was no obvious force. Graham indicated that Plaintiff Chen�s assailant would not be punished because he was already doing community service, AA meetings, and counseling for a prior drinking infraction. Graham suggested that Plaintiff Chen take time off during the summer break and put the sexual assault behind her so she could be friends with her assailant in the future. Graham also suggested that Plaintiff Chen�s assailant would not be able to contact her, but referred her to the Deans for details. Although Plaintiff Chen followed up with Dean of Men Aaron Peterson about a no-contact order, and specifically raised scenarios in which she would see her rapist, Hillsdale never implemented a no-contact order. Because of Hillsdale�s failure to implement a no-contact order, Plaintiff Chen continued to have to see her rapist at track events, in class, and while he was serving food at the only dining hall on campus as part of his community service. On or around April 08th 2022, Dr. Amy Chen, Plaintiff Chen�s mother, emailed the Deans requesting a meeting about the investigation. Receiving no response, on or around April 09th 2022, Plaintiff Chen emailed Dean Dell reiterating her request for a written investigation report. In response, the Deans referred Plaintiff Chen and her mother to Bob Norton, Hillsdale�s legal counsel. However, Norton refused to provide a written investigation report or communicate by email with Dr. Chen; instead he called Dr. Chen and, in a hostile tone, suggested that if she had read Plaintiff Chen�s report, she would know that Plaintiff Chen�s account of the incident was not accurate. On or around April 13th 2022, Dr. Chen followed up with Deans Dell, Gravel, and Peterson, reiterating her request for a written investigation report. On or around April 15th 2022, Dean Dell replied to Dr. Chen stating that due to the �adversarial tone� of her April 08th 2022 email, Norton would be her point of contact with Hillsdale. On or around April 15th 2022, after Hillsdale backtracked and told Plaintiff Chen she was not assaulted, she sought further guidance from Brock Lutz, Hillsdale�s Director of Health and Wellness, who confirmed that her assailant attempted rape. Lutz further informed Chen that Dean Dell had told him that there were discrepancies between Plaintiff Chen and her rapist�s story about consent; this was the first time Plaintiff Chen heard about purported discrepancies in her story. Dean Dell shared Plaintiff Chen�s written report with Lutz and Norton without asking Plaintiff Chen�s permission. Plaintiff Chen and her mother continued to press Hillsdale for a written investigation report explaining Hillsdale�s findings. On or around April 20th 2022, Dean Dell emailed that Plaintiff Chen could meet with Graham and Norton or consider her case concluded. At this point, Plaintiff Chen declined to meet alone with the school�s counsel, and ceased communication with the school about her case. Plaintiff Chen continues to see her rapist at school and track events, at least three times per week. During the fall 2022 semester, Plaintiff Chen was in a class with him and eight other students. Seeing him gives Plaintiff Chen panic attacks, makes her physically uncomfortable, hyperaware of her surroundings, and very anxious. The emotional toll of the assault and investigation have negatively impacted Plaintiff Chen�s wellbeing � she was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (�PTSD�) in July 2023 � as well as her academic and athletic performance.

Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) Institutional Policy on the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974. Retrievable here.: https://www.westminster-mo.edu/studentlife/policies/Documents/2018-2019Handbook.pdf [viii] The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (�) was signed into law by President Ford on August 21st 1974, with an effective date of November 19th 1974, 90 days after enactment. (�) It was (�) commonly referred to as the �Buckley Amendment� after its principal sponsor, Senator James Buckley of New York. FERPA was offered as an amendment on the Senate floor and was not the subject of Committee consideration. Accordingly, traditional legislative history for FERPA as first enacted is unavailable. Senators Buckley and Pell sponsored major FERPA amendments that were enacted on December 31st 1974, just four months later, and made retroactive to its effect date of November 19th 1974. These amendments were intended to address a number of ambiguities and concerns identified by the educational community, including parents, students and institutions. On December 13th 1974, these sponsors introduced the major source of legislative history for the amendment, which is known as the �Joint Statement in Explanation of Buckley/Pell Amendment� (�Joint Statement�). (�) In 1990, Congress enacted the Campus Security Act, which added a new exception to the prior written consent rule: post-secondary institutions may disclose to an alleged victim of any crime of violence (as defined in U.S Code Title 18, Section 16) the results of any disciplinary proceeding conducted by the institution against the alleged perpetrator of the crime, regardless of the outcome of the proceeding. Congress amended this provision in the Higher Education Amendments (HEA) of 1998 by including �nonforcible sex offenses� and clarifying that only �final results� may be disclosed (i.e., name of student perpetrator, violation committed, and sanction imposed. Written consent is still required to disclose the name of any other student). The following new exception was also added in the 1998 HEA amendments: post-secondary institutions may disclose the final results of any disciplinary proceeding for a crime of violence (as defined above) or nonforcible sex offense to anyone, including members of the general public, if the institution determines that the student committed a violation of its rules or policies with respect to the crime. The 1998 HEA amendments also added a new exception that allows institutions of higher education to disclose to a parent or legal guardian information regarding a student�s violation of any law or institutional rule or policy governing the use or possession of alcohol or a controlled substance if the student is under 21 and the institution determines that the student has committed a disciplinary violation with respect to the use or possession. Since 1998 Congress has enacted two additional exceptions to the statutory prior consent rule: 1) The 2000 Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act added a new subsection (b)(7) to the statute to ensure that an educational institution may disclose information concerning registered sex offenders provided to it under State sex offender registration and community notification programs. 2) The USA Patriot Act of 2001 added a new subsection (j) that allows the U.S Attorney General to apply for an ex parte court order requiring an educational agency or institution and prosecutions of specified crimes or acts of terrorism (domestic or international). The Attorney General must certify that there are specific facts giving reason to believe that the records are likely to contain the required information. An educational agency or institution that in good faith produces records in accordance with the court�s order is not liable to any person for that production.

Retrievable here.: https://studentprivacy.ed.gov/sites/default/files/resource_document/file/ferpaleghistory.pdf [ix] Former Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers maintained a close personal relationship with convicted sex criminal Jeffrey E. Epstein until just months before his death in August 2019, according to emails released by Congress on Wednesday, November 12th 2025. The cache, released by Republicans on the House Oversight Committee, details how Summers and Epstein regularly corresponded about women, politics, and Harvard-linked projects. They appear to have maintained a close correspondence as late as March 2019 � just months before Epstein�s arrest and death. The messages span at least seven years�and blend professional dealings with candid, sometimes confessional exchanges � offering the clearest picture yet of how Epstein�s influence lingered inside Harvard�s inner orbit long after the University claimed to cut ties. The Crimson reviewed hundreds of messages between the two men, drawn from more than 20,000 documents released by the Oversight Committee. Summers does not appear to reference Epstein�s sex crimes in any of the messages reviewed by The Crimson. The correspondence reveals that Epstein had planned to donate $500,000�to Poetry in America � a television show and digital initiative spearheaded by Harvard English professor emerita Elisa F. New, who is married to Summers. In 2016, Epstein donated $110,000 to Verse Video Education, the non-profit organization which funds the initiative. Summers reportedly met with Epstein numerous times between 2013 and 2016 and sought his advice on philanthropic projects linked to New, according to a 2023 Wall Street Journal article. (�) Summers � wrote that his relationship with Epstein reflected a lapse in judgment in a Wednesday, November 12th 2025 statement to The Crimson. �I have great regrets in my life,� he wrote. �As I have said before, my association with Jeffrey Epstein was a major error of judgment.� In one 2014 thread, New and Epstein discussed the potential $500,000 contribution to New�s project. According to an email from New, Epstein and Summers had previously talked about the idea. She then asked Epstein for feedback and edits on her draft budget. �It will absolutely be a Harvard gift,� she told him, adding that the donation �will count as Campaign success.� Harvard�s $9.6 billion capital campaign was ongoing between 2013 and 2018. The proposal outlined a $500,000 contribution to support production costs and expand the project�s reach. The planned funding would underwrite interviews with prominent figures � including Bill Clinton, Richard Dawkins, and Ray Dalio � and was intended, New wrote, to �give me discretion over its disbursement to Harvard and WGBH.� New wrote that Summers had told her that Epstein and �a friend would like to contribute.� A spokesperson for Summers told the Wall Street Journal in its 2023 report that New�s nonprofit �regrets accepting funding from Epstein.� The group later made a contribution �exceeding the amount received, to a group working against sex trafficking,� according to the spokesperson. University spokespeople declined to comment on this article, referring The Crimson to Harvard�s 2020 report on its ties to the financier. By 2008, Harvard had stopped taking contributions from Epstein, according to the University�s report. (�) Summer�s connection to Epstein has long been documented, but the newly released messages offer the most detailed account yet of the depth of their relationship. Epstein donated millions of dollars to Harvard during Summer�s presidency from 2001 to 2006. The two continued to meet regularly after Esptein�s 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor, despite the University�s public claims that it had severed ties. (�) In an October 2017 email to Epstein, Summers appeared to joke to Epstein that women were less intelligent than men � and suggested that having �hit on� women should not damage one�s career prospects. �I observed that half the IQ in world was possessed by women without mentioning they are more than 51 percent of population�.� he wrote to Epstein, without elaborating further. The message invoked one of the most controversial episodes of Summers� career � his 2005 remarks at an economics conference suggesting that innate differences between men and women might help explain the underrepresentation of women in science and engineering at elite universities. Summers� 2005 speech triggered intense national backlash and a revolt within Harvard�s faculty, which voted no confidence in his leadership after years of mounting discontent. Summers stepped down as Harvard president in February 2006. In the same 2017 email to Epstein, Summers appeared to reference another controversy, which was roiling Harvard at the time: the school�s decision to rescind the admission of Michelle Jones, a formerly incarcerated scholar who had been accepted into the University�s history Ph.D. program. Jones, who spent more than two decades in prison for killing her 4-year-old son, was rejected from the program by top administrators after professors questioned whether she had downplayed the crime throughout her application process, despite support among other faculty. Summers appeared to take issue with the support for her admission, framing the case as an example of what he viewed as inconsistent standards in how elite institutions judge wrongdoing. �I�m trying to figure why American elite think if u murder your baby by beating and abandonment it must be irrelevant to your admission to Harvard, but hit on a few women 10 years ago and can�t work at a network or think tank,� Summers wrote, before adding, �DO NOT REPEAT THIS INSIGHT.� Harvard Crimson. November 13th 2025. Email Cache Reveals How Former Harvard President Larry Summers Stayed in Jeffrey Epstein�s Orbit. Retrievable Here.: https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/11/13/summers-epstein-messages/ Major institutions of higher education in the US are reckoning with the latest release of the Epstein files after discovering the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein�s relationships with board members, professors and administrators on campuses across the country. In some cases, professors have been placed under review, research centers closed or conferences canceled. Students and staff have responded in different ways, including petitions, open letters and campus forums. The Guardian spoke with students, employees and alumni at some of the universities implicated. On February 09th 2026, faculty at Barnard College, the private women�s liberal arts college affiliated with Columbia University, published an open letter signed by more than 70 faculty members calling on the university to �acknowledge and investigate� recently released correspondence referencing a connection between Epstein and Francine LeFrak, a prominent donor and member of the school�s board of trustees. LeFrak appears in the Epstein files 15 times, according to reporting from the Barnard Bulletin. In one appearance, a third party for LeFrak asked�via email � in 2010 � to join a close friend and Epstein during �the holidays�; in another, later that year and also via a third party over email, she invited Epstein �as her guest� to a trip to Rwanda, where she founded an initiative that provides occupational training and employment for female survivors of that country�s genocide. The letter notes that the connection between Epstein and LeFrak is �repugnant�, particularly since the interaction took place following Epstein�s 2008 conviction of soliciting prostitution from a minor. �We do not believe that people who maintained contact with a notorious sex trafficker and convicted sex offender express our values, nor have they behaved as proper trustees of Barnard College,� the letter states. It also calls on Barnard to remove LeFrak�s name from the newly constructed Francine A LeFrak Center for Well-Being, which houses the school�s sexual violence education, prevention and outreach program, among other initiatives. Many faculty members expressed confusion and outrage specifically regarding LeFrak�s relationship to a program that is meant to encourage the health and wellbeing of young women. �I just feel a real, deep disappointment, because I think, as a women�s college, our mission is directly antithetical to every revelation of those files,� a Barnard professor, who asked to remain anonymous, said. �It is some very privileged, powerful, in many cases secretive and nefarious men controlling the lives and narratives around a wide swath of women. How can a women�s college � with its stated commitments to women�s health, wellbeing, excellence � have a prominent name on campus that is now associated with a sex offender?� A Barnard spokesperson said the school had �retained independent counsel to review the facts and advise the college accordingly�, and noted that �Barnard is a place where women�s education is championed and where women are supported, uplifted and given the tools to become the best versions of themselves. Barnard has never accepted money from Jeffrey Epstein, and we are not aware of any connection to the college.� Elsewhere, Columbia University disciplined two people affiliated with its dental college after documents revealed that they helped Epstein�s girlfriend get into the school. Dr. Letty Moss-Salentjin�was stripped of her title as vice-dean of the dental college while Dr. Thomas Magnani�was removed from the school�s admissions review committee and volunteer leadership roles. The university also noted that it would be making a donation of $210,000, the same amount it received from Epstein and related entities, to two New York-based non-profit organizations supporting survivors of sexual abuse and human trafficking. On the other side of the country, UCLA community members have been reeling at a swath of email correspondence between Dr Mark Tramo, an adjunct professor of neurology at UCLA�s David Geffen School of Medicine, and Epstein over a 12-year span. While UCLA removed Tramo�s profile page from its website, he is still teaching classes at the university. �As an academic, I am absolutely outraged by how [Tramo] abused his position,� a UCLA alumnus who asked for anonymity wrote to the Guardian. In 2010, Tramo forwarded Epstein messages from two female students � one at UCLA and the other at Harvard � who had written to him to express interest in research opportunities through the Institute for Music and Brain Science, to which Epstein had donated money. The next day, Epstein replied: �are either of these cute.� Tramo responded: �we�ll see! (you�re terrible!)� A petition�calling on the university to fire Tramo has garnered more than 10,000 signatures. UCLA declined the Guardian�s request for comment. At Bard, the tiny liberal arts college in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, the latest release of Epstein files have struck a nerve at the center of campus. A long-term relationship was revealed between Leon Botstein, Bard�s president, and Epstein, prompting students to pen an open letter calling for Botstein to resign. (�) At Harvard, the former university president Larry Summers announced in December that he was stepping down from his teaching position while the school investigated his ties to Epstein. The university also confirmed that it was widening its investigation to look into donor relationships with the disgraced financier. A 2020 internal review�had found that Epstein donated $9.1m to the Ivy League institution between 1998 and 2008. Similarly, Yale University barred�the computer science professor David Gelernter from teaching while the school reviewed his connection with Epstein. In an email, Gelernter recommended a student to Epstein for a software project, calling her a �v small good looking blonde.� (�) The Guardian. February 23rd 2026.

4163	Ayele (a.k.a) W	Hello, This is Michael A. Ayele sending this message though I now go by W and I prefer to be referred to as such. I am writing this letter for the purpose of filing a FOIA request with the City of Ann Arbor, Michigan. The basis for this non-commercial records request is the National Council on Disability (NCD) January 30th 2018 report entitled Not on the Radar: Sexual Assault of College Students with Disabilities. I) Requested Records � What I am requesting for prompt disclosure are records in your possession detailing your discussions about [1] the National Council on Disability (NCD) as a federal agency of the United States government which had on (or around) January 30th 2018 published a report recognizing that (i) American colleges and universities in receipt of Title IX funding have a legal obligation to inform all their freshmen undergraduate students (whether domestic or international) what constitutes �affirmative and effective consent in healthy sexual relationships;� (ii) American colleges and universities in receipt of Title IX funding have a legal obligation to inform all their freshmen undergraduate students (whether domestic or international) of the Jeanne Clery Act;[i] (iii) twenty percent (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; (iv) thirty-two percent (32%) of women with a disability were sexually assaulted during Calendar Years 2014 and 2015 in a college or university setting;[ii] (v) sexual assault is a public health and public safety concern with far reaching implications; (vi) sexual assault is a deeply personal violation which leaves physical and emotional impacts that change the lives of victims; (vii) sexual assault causes long-term physical, psychological, and emotional effects, including depression, post-traumatic stress, thoughts of suicide, flashbacks, and sleep disorders; [iii] [2] Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black Bachelor of Arts (B.A) Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) who has witnessed his correspondence with the NCD on the subject of their January 30th 2018 report being subjected to frenzy before it was very inappropriately filtered and distorted on internet search engines (ISE) such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo following his decision to recognize that (i) he was informed what constitutes affirmative and effective consent in the month of January 2010 when he was 18 years of age; (ii) he was informed what constitutes affirmative and effective consent after being told of the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery; (iii) the rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery raises questions about Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972;[iv] [3] the decision of the Bing/MSN internet search engine (ISE) to filter and distort Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W�s correspondence with the NCD on the subject of their January 30th 2018 report by generating unwelcome and unapproved queries such as 'Michael Ayele�s role in Title IX reform,' and 'Michael Ayele�s impact on Title IX reforms,' 'Michael Ayele published articles,' 'Michael Ayele article controversies,' 'Michael Ayele OSF publications,' 'Michael Ayele AACL Projects,' 'Michael Ayele academic profile,' 'mike ayele alumni' and 'michael a ayele w.' [v] II) Request for a Fee Waiver and Expedited Processing The requested records do/will demonstrate that [1] the National Council on Disability (NCD) is a federal agency of the United States government which had on (or around) January 30th 2018 published a report recognizing that (i) American colleges and universities in receipt of Title IX funding have a legal obligation to inform all their freshmen undergraduate students (whether domestic or international) what constitutes �affirmative and effective consent in healthy sexual relationships;� (ii) American colleges and universities in receipt of Title IX funding have a legal obligation to inform all their freshmen undergraduate students (whether domestic or international) on the Jeanne Clery Act; (iii) twenty percent (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; (iv) thirty-two percent (32%) of women with a disability were sexually assaulted during Calendar Years 2014 and 2015 in a college or university setting; (v) sexual assault �is a public health and public safety concern with far reaching implications;� (vi) sexual assault is a �deeply personal violation� which �leaves physical and emotional impacts that change the lives of victims;� (vii) sexual assault causes �long-term physical, psychological, and emotional effects, including depression, post-traumatic stress, thoughts of suicide, flashbacks, and sleep disorders;� [2] Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W is a Black Bachelor of Arts (B.A) Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) who has witnessed his correspondence with the NCD on the subject of their January 30th 2018 report being subjected to frenzy before it was very inappropriately filtered and distorted on internet search engines (ISE) such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo following his decision to recognize that (i) he was informed what constitutes �affirmative and effective consent� in the month of January 2010 when he was 18 years of age; (ii) he was informed what constitutes �affirmative and effective consent� after being told of the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery; (iii) the rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery raises questions about Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972; [3] the Bing/MSN internet search engine (ISE) has filtered and distorted Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W�s correspondence with the NCD on the subject of their January 30th 2018 report by generating unwelcome and unapproved queries such as 'Michael Ayele�s role in Title IX reform,' 'Michael Ayele�s impact on Title IX reforms,' 'Michael Ayele published articles,' 'Michael Ayele article controversies,' 'Michael Ayele OSF publications,' 'Michael Ayele AACL Projects,' �Michael Ayele academic profile,' 'mike ayele alumni.' If truth be told, the facts presented in this request for a fee waiver and expedited processing will not bolster public confidence in the activities, the engagements and the priorities of internet search engine (ISE) such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo because they have previously filtered and distorted Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W�s correspondence with the National Council on Disability (NCD) on the subject of their January 30th 2018 report entitled Not on the Radar: Sexual Assault of College Students with Disabilities. Unfortunately, I regret to inform you that decision of ISE to filter and distort Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W�s correspondence with the NCD on the subject of their January 30th 2018 report [1] was not an isolated incident, but part of a repeated pattern; [2] has undermined transparency, accountability, and informed public understanding of the education that is provided to freshman undergraduate students in the U.S.A (whether domestic or international) on what constitutes affirmative and effective consent; [3] has undermined transparency, accountability and informed public understanding of the education that is provided to freshman undergraduate students in the U.S.A (whether domestic or international) on the Jeanne Clery Act; [4] has undermined transparency, accountability and informed public understanding of the education Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W was provided in the month of January 2010 when he was 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 on the campus of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri); [5] has exacerbated racism and discrimination online, causing direct harm to the name, the image and the likeness of Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W. In my judgment, the facts presented in this records request will also not bolster public confidence in the National Council on Disability (NCD) processing of the FOIA request they had assigned Case No.: 2023 � 01 for five reasons. 1)�As you may be aware, when publishing their January 30th 2018 report, the NCD had noted that students with disabilities (�) may (�) be accused of sexual violence, as well as being victims of such violence, and may require accommodations during Title IX hearings, judicial procedures, suspensions, and other procedures and actions of campus. While this is an important topic for further study, people with disabilities are more likely to be victims of violence. In addition, students may experience mental health disabilities after an incident of sexual assault. (See page 22 of that report). 2) On (or around) December 15th 2022, I had contacted the NCD via email to inquire if/when they would publish the follow-up report they had said they would on matters related to (i) students with disabilities being accused of sexual violence (on college/university campuses); (ii) students with disabilities being victims of sexual violence; (iii) students with disabilities requiring accommodations during Title IX hearings, judicial procedures, suspensions and other procedures and actions on campus. 3) At the time I had contacted the NCD on (or around) December 15th 2022, almost 5 (five) years had elapsed since they had indicated that they would publish a follow-up study to their January 30th 2018 report which would focus on (i) students with disabilities being accused of sexual violence (on college/university campuses); (ii) students with disabilities being victims of sexual violence; (iii) students with disabilities requiring accommodations during Title IX hearings, judicial procedures, suspensions and other procedures and actions on campus. However, I [Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W] received no response to this inquiry. [vi] 4) When a federal agency expressly identifies an issue as an �important topic for further study,� that statement is not merely descriptive; it functions as a public representation of the agency�s priorities and anticipated course of action. Members of the general public [including Black former international students such as Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W] are entitled to rely on such representations when assessing whether an agency is fulfilling its mandate. If no discussions, research, or internal deliberations followed such a statement, that fact itself is of public importance. Conversely, if such discussions or research did occur, transparency requires that they be disclosed. Either outcome bears directly on public oversight. 5) A defining feature of a healthy democracy is the extent to which federal agencies such as the NCD follow through on the (verbal and/or written) commitments they make to the public. When a U.S federal government agency (similarly situated to the NCD) identifies an important topic for further study, its actions � or inactions (on that issue) � directly affect public oversight and confidence. For a democracy to function properly, it is crucial that federal agencies (such as the NCD) follow through on their commitments in order to continue maintaining public trust and institutional integrity. Unfortunately, the decision of the NCD not to publish their promised follow-up report has undermined public confidence in their approach towards tackling urgent matters of sexual assault on American college/university campuses. On a personal level, I do think it�s very important that any future report published by the NCD (on matters related to Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972) take into account the personal experiences of Black former international students [similarly situated to Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W] because [1] the Jeanne Clery case has become the focal point that serves to inform undergraduate students what constitutes �affirmative and effective consent� in healthy sexual relationships; [2] the Jeanne Clery case raises questions about American colleges and universities obligations pursuant Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972; [3] the Jeanne Clery case raises questions about the legal obligations of American colleges and universities to unequivocally and unconditionally condemn violence committed against women irrespective of the woman�s racial background, sexual orientation, national origin, religious affiliation and/or disability status; [vii] [4] the Jeanne Clery case has been weaponized and politicized to create double standards on matters related to affirmative and effective consent in healthy sexual relationships; [5] the double standards on matters related to affirmative and effective consent are very adversely impacting women (similarly situated to Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen)[viii] as well as students from racial minority groups [including Black former international students similarly situated to Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W]. The core issues presented in this records request are as follows. 1) Have you had conversations about the NCD as a federal agency of the United States government which had on (or around) January 30th 2018 recognized that American colleges and universities in receipt of Title IX funding have a legal obligation to inform all their freshmen undergraduate students (whether domestic or international) what constitutes affirmative and effective consent in healthy sexual relationships? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 2) Have you had conversations about the NCD as a federal agency of the United States government which had on (or around) January 30th 2018 recognized that American colleges and universities in receipt of Title IX funding have a legal obligation to inform all their freshmen undergraduate students (whether domestic or international) on the Jeanne Clery Act? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 3) Have you had conversations about the NCD as a federal agency of the United States government which had on (or around) January 30th 2018 recognized that 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? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 4) Have you had conversations about the NCD as a federal agency of the United States government which had on (or around) January 30th 2018 recognized that 32% of women with a disability were sexually assaulted during Calendar Years 2014 and 2015 in a college or university setting? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 5) Have you had conversations about the NCD as a federal agency of the United States government which had on (or around) January 30th 2018 recognized that sexual assault is a public health and public safety concern with far reaching implications?

Ayele (a.k.a) W Anti-Racist Human Rights Activist Audio-Visual Media Analyst Anti-Propaganda Journalist Work Cited [i] 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. Colleges are implementing a variety of education and prevention programs on their campuses and making information related to sexual assault readily available to students. Educational programs help develop students understanding of consent and healthy sexual relationships and supports the prevention of alcohol abuse. Colleges use a range of online education prevention programs to reach all first-year students and other targeted populations, while complying with federal mandates for sexual assault prevention training. Colleges also organize in person educational events facilitated by experts and peer educators throughout the year. National Council on Disability (NCD). January 30th 2018. Not on the Radar: Sexual Assault of College Students with Disabilities. Pages 29 - 32. https://www.ncd.gov/report/not-on-the-radar-sexual-assault-of-college-students-with-disabilities/ [ii] The issue of sexual assault on college campuses has received increased attention since the 2007 publication of the federally funded College Sexual Assault study, which found that 19 percent of female undergraduates were victims of sexual assault during their time in college. Another recent federally funded study surveyed 23,000 students across nine colleges and universities and found that the prevalence of sexual assault averaged 21 percent for females across the schools. The federally funded (National Institute of Justice) College Sexual Assault Study (CSA) was a survey conducted with 6,800 undergraduate students attending two large public universities during 2005 that examined the prevalence, nature, and reporting of sexual assault experienced by students to inform the development of targeted intervention strategies. The often-quoted figure from this study represents the experience of females since entering college: 19.8 percent of female college senior (1 in 5) responded that they had experienced nonconsensual sexual contact involving force or incapacitation during their time in college. This study, however, did not include disability as a demographic and, as such did not yield data on the prevalence of sexual assault on student with disabilities. A recent large-scale study on campus sexual assault by the Association of American Universities revealed that college students with disabilities were victims of sexual violence at higher rates than students without disabilities �31.6 percent of undergraduate females with disabilities reported nonconsensual sexual contact involving physical force or incapacitation, compared to 18.4 percent of undergraduate females without a disability. This means one out of every three undergraduate students with a disability was a victim of sexual violence on campus. (�) The Association of American Universities (AAU) study is notable because it is one of the largest surveys on sexual assault and sexual misconduct in terms of both number of schools and number of students participating. Prior studies of campus sexual assault and misconduct have been implemented for a small number of colleges or for a national sample of students with relatively small samples for any particular college. Also, comparisons across surveys have been problematic because of different methodologies and different definitions. The AAU was one of the first to implement a uniform methodology across multiple colleges and to produce statistically reliable estimates for each college. National Council on Disability (NCD).

Under Title IX, discrimination on the basis of sex can include sexual harassment, rape and sexual assault.

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.

Ayele (a.k.a) W to Figshare Hello,� This is Michael A. 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.

Please be advised that I have concerns with your processing of my FOIA request because according to the January 30th 2018 report published by the NCD, students with disabilities (�) may (�) be accused of sexual violence, as well as being victims of such violence, and may require accommodations during Title IX hearings, judicial procedures, suspensions, and other procedures and actions of campus. While this is an important topic for further study, people with disabilities are more likely to be victims of violence. In addition, students may experience mental health disabilities after an incident of sexual assault. As a Black man with a U.S college degree, (who was in January 2010 informed what constitutes affirmative and effective consent,) I wholeheartedly agree with the statements made by the NCD about [1] students with disabilities being far more likely to be victims of violence than instigators of it; [2] students with disabilities being more likely to suffer physical and mental illness because of violence; [3] the experience of sexual assault leading people to experience (i) depression, (ii) sleep disorders, (iii) thoughts of suicide etc. However, I have concerns with the adequacy of the search you have performed for my FOIA request, which you have assigned Case No.: 2023 � 01 because of the statements made by your federal agency about the real possibility of a future NCD report that will examine the issue of [1] students with disabilities being accused of sexual violence (on college/university campuses), [2] students with disabilities being victims of sexual violence (on college/university campuses), [3] students with disabilities requiring accommodations during Title IX hearings, judicial procedures, suspensions, and other procedures on campus. Given the statements made by the NCD on page 22 of their January 30th 2018 report, I (personally) was led to believe that your federal agency had begun discussions/research to examine the issue of [1] students with disabilities being accused of sexual violence, [2] students with disabilities being victims of sexual violence, [3] students with disabilities requiring accommodations during Title IX hearings, judicial procedures, suspensions, and other procedures on campus (for the purpose of a future report). For this reason in particular, I continue to have concerns with the adequacy of the search you have performed for my FOIA request. As a representative of the media and a member of the general public, I hope you will perform a more thorough search for responsive records detailing [1] the discussions/research, which was performed by the NCD on the subject of students with disabilities being accused of sexual violence in college/university settings; [2] the discussions/research, which was performed by the NCD on the subject of students with disabilities being victims of sexual violence; [3] the discussions/research, which was performed by the NCD on the subject of students with disabilities requiring accommodations during Title IX hearings, judicial procedures, suspensions, and other procedures on campus; [4] the discussions/research, which was performed by the NCD on the subject of students with disabilities being told about affirmative and effective consent after being provided some very limited background information on the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery; [5] the discussions/research, which was performed by the NCD on the subject of students with disabilities being told about �affirmative and effective consent� after being provided some very limited background information on the rape and murder of a Caucasian woman (i.e: Jeanne Ann Clery) by a Black/African American man (i.e: Josoph Henry); [6] the date and time (i) representatives of the media, (ii) members of the general public, (iii) current college students, (iv) current university students, (v) alumnae of U.S colleges/universities and (vi) alumni of U.S colleges/universities can expect from the NCD a follow up report on the subject of sexual assault of college students with disabilities. [vii] Even though Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W has never sought nor ever solicited nor ever contacted anyone to have his written publications listed and featured prominently on the AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo internet search engines (ISE); Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W has uncovered many instances where his written content were filtered, distorted, misused and misattributed.�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 of 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 published works to evaluation, examination and unsolicited comments on the AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo ISE. 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 while the AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo ISE 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 while the AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo ISE�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 08th�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, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) 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 National Council on Disability (NCD) on the subject of their January 30th 2018 report entitled Not on the Radar : Sexual Assault of Students with Disabilities. 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 in America (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 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. 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 other emails beginning 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 (beginning 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). The key questions asked by Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W about the rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery as well as 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, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) 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. Still, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W is exasperated by the very bizarre and persistent frenzy that has targeted him on the internet ever since he made the decision to publish on digital platforms [1] some of his recollections on how he was in the month of January 2010 (as an undergraduate student of 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; [2] his questions about Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972; [3] 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 08th�1990; [4] his inquiry on the exact year American colleges and universities began teaching their undergraduate students what constitutes affirmative and effective consent in healthy sexual relationships.�Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W takes full-responsibility for all the statements he has made at the time he decided to publish his review of events that led to the Jeanne Clery Act. Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W also takes full-responsibility for the questions he has asked about Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972. [viii] Danielle Villareal is a citizen of Nebraska. She was a Hillsdale student from August 2020 to the spring of 2021. At Hillsdale, Plaintiff Villareal was a Grewcock Scholar who made the Dean�s List every semester, played club soccer and was elected Director of Facilities (for club soccer), and was a member of Hillsdale College Democrats and Pi Beta Phi sorority. (�) On or around August 29th 2021, shortly after returning to Hillsdale for her sophomore year, Plaintiff Villareal was raped by a fellow student and a member of Hillsdale�s baseball team at his apartment which is a five-minute drive away from campus. The assailant propositioned Plaintiff Villareal for sex, and after she declined, she was frightened by the sudden change in his demeanor. Plaintiff Villareal was paralyzed with fear and the assailant proceeded to penetrate her with his penis. The rape concluded only after Plaintiff Villareal told her assailant to stop. After reeling from the assault, Plaintiff Villareal reported the rape a day or two later to the local police. Within days of filing a police report, Plaintiff Villareal then emailed Dean of Men Aaron Peterson that she had been sexually assaulted. Peterson responded, in turn, and instructed her to meet with Mechelle Zarou, an outside lawyer who would investigate the rape. Plaintiff Villareal first met with Zarou the day after she reported her assault to Hillsdale. Hillsdale did not tell Plaintiff Villareal that she could meet with her lawyer before meeting with Zarou. At the meeting, Plaintiff Villareal recounted her assault to Zarou as she nodded and signaled that she understood. Zarou then told Plaintiff Villareal that she was in town to give a presentation on campus about issues including sexual assault, and that Plaintiff Villareal�s story was so similar to a hypothetical she had written that she would now have to change the presentation. When the meeting concluded, Zarou told Plaintiff Villareal that she would next meet with the assailant, and then follow up with Plaintiff Villareal again. Zarou did not interview Villareal�s rapist until months after meeting with Villareal. Villareal�s rapist had not initially been responsive to Zarou�s messages because he had been meeting with several lawyers. Plaintiff Villareal met with Zarou a second time months later. This time, Zaroud said the meeting was to go through discrepancies between Plaintiff Villareal�s story and her rapist�s account. Zarou asked Plaintiff Villareal questions about the assault that suggested that she was to blame, such as Villareal�s initiation of romantic contact earlier in the evening. In the course of their conversations, Zarou indicated to Plaintiff Villareal that the rapist maintained that he never asked Plaintiff Villareal if she wanted to have sex, he just penetrated her. Plaintiff Villareal emphasized that she told him she did not want to have sex with him after he asked for consent. On or around October 15th 2021, Plaintiff Villareal and her stepfather met with Zarou for a third time. In this meeting, in which Zarou was at times hostile, she delivered her findings. Zarou initially told Plaintiff Villareal and her stepfather that her rapist violated the sexual misconduct policy because he tried to have sex with her after she revoked consent and because he stopped as soon as Plaintiff Villareal withdrew consent, his punishment would not be expulsion. Plaintiff Villareal corrected Zarou that she never gave consent to begin with, Zarou then agreed and reiterated that Plaintiff Villareal�s rapist acted without consent but because he stopped penetrating her when she told him to, he would not be expelled. On or around October 26th 2021, Zarou informed Plaintiff Villareal that Hillsdale placed Plaintiff Villareal�s rapist on social probation, required him to do community service, and suspended him indefinitely from baseball. This punishment was not enforced. On one occasion, Plaintiff Villareal saw her rapist at a party. On another occasion, she saw him walking on campus with his baseball shoes, suggesting he continued to play on the baseball team. When Plaintiff Villareal asked the baseball coaches if he was allowed to practice, they did not answer the question. Plaintiff Villareal inquired about his punishment to the Dean of Women and was told that she was not privy to other students� disciplinary actions, even though Zarou had already told Plaintiff Villareal the punishment Hillsdale gave him. Plaintiff Villareal�s rapist was allowed back onto the baseball team for the second semester, just in time for season to start. Hillsdale�s general counsel, Bob Norton, threatened Plaintiff Villareal�s parents that if she continued to inquire about the investigation and punishment, there would be consequences for her. Norton further suggested that Plaintiff Villareal reported her rape only after she came to regret a consensual encounter. Immediately upon leaving the meeting with Norton, Villareal�s parents felt that Villareal should transfer schools to protect her safety and well-being. Plaintiff Villareal was forced to see her rapist around once a day in passing. Plaintiff Villareal stopped going to parties after she saw him at one. The rape and investigation took a big toll on Plaintiff Villareal. At first, schoolwork was a welcome distraction from the investigation but then Plaintiff Villareal began to suffer from depression and stopped caring about schoolwork. She withdrew from her social life and friendships suffered. She felt numb and had trouble sleeping at night. After Plaintiff left Hillsdale, she started seeing a therapist and was prescribed antidepressants. Grace Chen and Danielle Villareal Civil Action Complaint Against Hillsdale College. Pages 18 - 22. Retrievable here.: https://titleixforall.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Grace-Chen-v.-Hillsdale-College-Complaint.pdf Grace Chen is a citizen of California who began attending Hillsdale College (Hillsdale, Michigan) in the month of August 2021. (�) On or around November 22nd 2021, a few months into her freshman year at Hillsdale, Plaintiff Chen was raped by a fellow Hillsdale track athlete in a dormitory on campus. Despite Plaintiff Chen�s repeated attempts to fend him off, the assailant took off her pants and penetrated her with his fingers. He forced Plaintiff Chen to masturbate his penis and then tried to penetrate Plaintiff Chen with his penis. Plaintiff Chen refused to have sex with the assailant and was terrified throughout the rape. The rape ended only after Plaintiff Chen repeatedly pleaded for the assailant to stop. Chen�s assailant later apologized to her for his actions. Plaintiff Chen was traumatized by the rape. She initially struggled to understand what had happened to her, and after hearing another student on the track team speak about her experience of trying to report sexual assault, Plaintiff Chen realized that she had been raped. On or around February 07th 2022, Plaintiff Chen met with Lindsay Peirce, a school counsellor at Hillsdale, to help her process the assault and understand what happened. During the meeting, Peirce confirmed that Plaintiff Chen was sexually assaulted but advised that the school�s Deans would take no action on a report of sexual assault without concrete evidence. Plaintiff Chen felt discouraged by Pierce�s comments, but she decided to report the incident to the Deans because she heard that her rapist might be going after other female students and she did not want someone else to go through what she had been through. On or around March 03rd 2022, Plaintiff Chen met with Dean of Women Rebekah Dell and Associate Dean of Women Stephanie Gravel to discuss her sexual assault. At that meeting, Plaintiff Chen presented the Deans with a written report detailing her assault. In the meeting, Dean Dell indicated that she believed Plaintiff Chen and would review Plaintiff Chen�s report first to make sure that there was nothing in it that her assailant could use against her in a counter-suit, which Plaintiff Chen understood to mean a defamation action. Dean Dell arranged for Plaintiff Chen to meet with Kimberley Graham, an outside lawyer the school was using to investigate the assault. On or around March 24th 2022, in her first meeting with Plaintiff Chen, Graham informed Plaintiff Chen that her assailant did not deny her account. Graham further indicated that the investigation was about guiding the Deans through what disciplinary steps should be taken because Plaintiff Chen�s assailant did not refute her allegations. Graham, however, made inappropriate statements to downplay the severity of the assault, and told Plaintiff Chen that she was fortunate that her assailant did not rape her. Graham also refused to interview witnesses that Plaintiff Chen identified in her written report, in violation of Hillsdale�s sexual misconduct policy, purportedly because there were no discrepancies between Plaintiff Chen�s story and her assailant�s. On or around April 05th 2022, Plaintiff Chen met with Graham again. Despite her earlier statements, Graham claimed that Plaintiff Chen was not sexually assaulted because there was no obvious force. Graham indicated that Plaintiff Chen�s assailant would not be punished because he was already doing community service, AA meetings, and counseling for a prior drinking infraction. Graham suggested that Plaintiff Chen take time off during the summer break and put the sexual assault behind her so she could be friends with her assailant in the future. Graham also suggested that Plaintiff Chen�s assailant would not be able to contact her, but referred her to the Deans for details. Although Plaintiff Chen followed up with Dean of Men Aaron Peterson about a no-contact order, and specifically raised scenarios in which she would see her rapist, Hillsdale never implemented a no-contact order. Because of Hillsdale�s failure to implement a no-contact order, Plaintiff Chen continued to have to see her rapist at track events, in class, and while he was serving food at the only dinning hall on campus as part of his community service. On or around April 08th 2022, Dr. Amy Chen, Plaintiff Chen�s mother, emailed the Deans requesting a meeting about the investigation. Receiving no response, on or around April 09th 2022, Plaintiff Chen emailed Dean Dell reiterating her request for a written investigation report. In response, the Deans referred Plaintiff Chen and her mother to Bob Norton, Hillsdale�s legal counsel. However, Norton refused to provide a written investigation report or communicate by email with Dr. Chen; instead he called Dr. Chen and, in a hostile tone, suggested that if she had read Plaintiff Chen�s report, she would know that Plaintiff Chen�s account of the incident was not accurate. On or around April 13th 2022, Dr. Chen followed up with Deans Dell, Gravel, and Peterson, reiterating her request for a written investigation report. On or around April 15th 2022, Dean Dell replied to Dr. Chen stating that due to the adversarial tone of her April 08th 2022 email, Norton would be her point of contact with Hillsdale. On or around April 15th 2022, after Hillsdale backtracked and told Plaintiff Chen she was not assaulted, she sought further guidance from Brock Lutz, Hillsdale�s Director of Health and Wellness, who confirmed that her assailant attempted rape. Lutz further informed Chen that Dean Dell had told him that there were discrepancies between Plaintiff Chen and her rapist�s story about consent; this was the first time Plaintiff Chen heard about purported discrepancies in her story. Dean Dell shared Plaintiff Chen�s written report with Lutz and Norton without asking Plaintiff Chen�s permission. Plaintiff Chen and her mother continued to press Hillsdale for a written investigation report explaining Hillsdale�s findings. On or around April 20th 2022, Dean Dell emailed that Plaintiff Chen could meet with Graham and Norton or consider her case concluded. At this point, Plaintiff Chen declined to meet alone with the school�s counsel, and ceased communication with the school about her case. Plaintiff Chen continues to see her rapist at school and track events, at least three times per week. During the fall 2022 semester, Plaintiff Chen was in a class with him and eight other students. Seeing him gives Plaintiff Chen panic attacks, makes her physically uncomfortable, hyperaware of her surroundings, and very anxious. The emotional toll of the assault and investigation have negatively impacted Plaintiff Chen�s wellbeing � she was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (�PTSD�) in July 2023 � as well as her academic and athletic performance.

4135	Ayele (a.k.a) W	Hello, This is Michael A. Ayele sending this message though I now go by W (and I prefer to be referred to as such). I am writing this letter for the purpose of filing a FOIA request with the City of Ann Arbor, Michigan. The basis for this records request is the Department of Education (DoED) processing of the FOIA request that had been assigned Case No.: 21 � 00103 � F. I) Requested Records What I am requesting for prompt disclosure are records in your possession detailing your discussions about [1] the Department of Education (DoED) as a federal agency of the United States government which has on (or around) February 16th 2021 processed the FOIA request they had assigned Case No.: 21 � 00103 � F by (i) refusing to deny that Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W was 18 (eighteen) years of age (in the month of January 2010) when he was for the first time of his life informed what constitutes affirmative and effective consent in healthy sexual relationships on the campus of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri); (ii) refusing to deny that Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W was (in the month of January 2010) told of the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery before being informed what constitutes affirmative and effective consent in healthy sexual relationships; (iii) refusing to deny that American colleges and universities that receive Title IX funding have a legal obligation to inform their freshmen undergraduate students what constitutes affirmative and effective consent at the very beginning of their undergraduate academic career; (iv) refusing to deny that American colleges and universities that receive Title IX funding have a legal obligation to inform their freshmen undergraduate students of the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery; (v) confirming to Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W that they�ve previously held conversations with Lehigh University on Jeanne Clery�s time as an undergraduate student between August 1985 and April 1986;�(vi) informing Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W that their search for responsive records located 1,456 (one thousand four hundred and fifty-six) pages of documents pertaining to Jeanne Clery�s time as an undergraduate student of Lehigh University between August 1985 and April 1986; (vii) informing Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W that they would redact all 1,456 pages of documents pertaining to Jeanne Clery�s time as an undergraduate student of Lehigh University between August 1985 and April 1986; [2] Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black Bachelor of Arts (B.A) Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) who has witnessed his written publications paradoxically being subjected to frenzy before they were filtered and distorted on search engines such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo following his decision to recognize that the DoED have processed the FOIA request they had assigned Case No.: 21 � 00103 � F by (i) refusing to deny that American colleges and universities that receive Title IX funding have a legal obligation to inform their freshmen undergraduate students what constitutes affirmative and effective consent in healthy sexual relationships at the very beginning of their undergraduate academic career; (ii) refusing to deny that American colleges and universities that receive Title IX funding have a legal obligation to inform their freshmen undergraduate students of the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Clery; (iii) informing him that their search for responsive records had located 1,456 pages of documents pertaining to Jeanne Clery�s time as an undergraduate student of Lehigh University; (iv) informing him that they would redact all 1,456 pages of documents pertaining to Jeanne Clery�s time as an undergraduate student of Lehigh University;[i] [3] the decision of the AOL and Bing/MSN ISE to filter and distort Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W�s review of the circumstances that led to the enactment of the Jeanne Clery Act by generating unwelcome and unapproved prompts (such as �michael ayele jeanne clery,� �michael ayele fbi,� �michael ayele cia,� �michael ayele death penalty,� �michael ayele wikipedia,�) that trigger artificial intelligence (AI) hallucination and misinformation. �[ii] II) Request for a Fee Waiver and Expedited Processing � � The requested records do/will demonstrate that [1] the Department of Education (DoED) is a federal agency of the United States government which has on (or around) February 16th 2021 processed the FOIA request they had assigned Case No.: 21 � 00103 � F by (i) refusing to deny that Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W was 18 (eighteen) years of age in the month of January 2010 when he was for the first time of his life informed what constitutes affirmative and effective consent in healthy sexual relationships on the campus of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri); (ii) refusing to deny that Michael A.

Ayele (a.k.a) W that they would redact all 1,456 pages of documents pertaining to Jeanne Clery�s time as an undergraduate student of Lehigh University between August 1985 and April 1986; [2] Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W is a Black Bachelor of Arts (B.A) Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) who has witnessed his written publications paradoxically being subjected to frenzy before they were filtered and distorted on search engines such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo following his decision to recognize that the DoED have processed the FOIA request they had assigned Case No.: 21 � 00103 � F by (i) refusing to deny that American colleges and universities that receive Title IX funding have a legal obligation to inform their freshmen undergraduate students what constitutes affirmative and effective consent in healthy sexual relationships at the very beginning of their undergraduate academic career; (ii) refusing to deny that American colleges and universities that receive Title IX funding have a legal obligation to inform their freshmen undergraduate students of the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Clery; (iii) informing him that their search for responsive records had located 1,456 pages of documents pertaining to Jeanne Clery�s time as an undergraduate student of Lehigh University; (iv) informing him that they would redact all 1,456 pages of documents pertaining to Jeanne Clery�s time as an undergraduate student of Lehigh University. If truth be told, the facts presented in my request for a fee waiver and expedited processing will not bolster public confidence in the activities, the engagements and the priorities of internet search engines (ISE) such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo because they have previously filtered and distorted Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W�s review of the circumstances that led to the enactment of the Jeanne Clery Act by generating unwelcome and unapproved prompts (such as �michael ayele jeanne clery,� �michael ayele fbi,� �michael ayele cia,� �michael ayele death penalty,� �michael ayele wikipedia,�) that trigger artificial intelligence (AI) hallucination and misinformation.[iii] Additionally, the facts presented in my request for a fee waiver and expedited processing will not bolster public confidence in the activities, the engagements and the priorities of the DoED because of their processing of the FOIA request they had assigned Case No.: 21 � 00103 � F. �As you are very likely aware, the case of Jeanne Clery�s rape and murder is officially closed, and the perpetrator of that rape and murder (Josoph Henry) is serving life in prison without the possibility of parole.[iv] Therefore, members of the general public � including representatives of the media and myself � are entitled under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to obtain records from closed cases. However, in my prior correspondence with the DoED, legal representatives of this federal government agency have on (or around) February 16th 2021 informed me (personally) that [1] they had located 1,456 pages of responsive records pertaining to Jeanne Clery�s time as an undergraduate student of Lehigh University (between August 1985 and April 05th 1986); [2] they would withhold all 1,456 pages of documents pertaining to Jeanne Clery�s time as an undergraduate student of Lehigh University between August 1985 and April 05th 1986. � Given that the case of Jeanne Ann Clery rape and murder is officially closed, and that the perpetrator of that rape and murder (Josoph Henry) is serving life in prison without the possibility of parole, the decision of the DOED to cite 5 U.S.C. � 552(b)(7)(A) and � 552(b)(7)(C) in order to justify the blanket withholding of all responsive records for the FOIA request that had been assigned Case No.: 21 � 00103 � F was very inappropriate. On my end, I would like to stress that Exemption (b)(7)(A) applies only to open cases where disclosure could reasonably be expected to interfere with an ongoing law enforcement investigation, but as previously noted, the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery is a closed case, and the DoED has not identified�nor could it plausibly identify�any ongoing enforcement proceeding that disclosure of these records would interfere with (decades later). Likewise, even though Exemption (b)(7)(C) protects against unwarranted invasions of personal privacy, it does not authorize categorical withholding, particularly where records concern historical events (such as the rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery) that are being taught in American colleges and universities to freshmen undergraduate students. In brief, FOIA was enacted to permit members of the public/representatives of the media to scrutinize how federal agencies have acted after the fact, and the invocation of law-enforcement exemptions to shield an entire closed case from review violates that statutory purpose. On a personal level, I am thoroughly convinced that the DoED invocation of Exemption (b)(7)(c) was illegitimate [for the FOIA request that had been assigned Case No.: 21 � 00103 � F] because the rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery is routinely taught to undergraduate students during their freshman year as part of a federally mandated instruction on campus safety, consent, and institutional responsibility. Given that the Jeanne Clery case is incorporated into undergraduate curricula and used by colleges and universities as a foundational example for why disclosure laws, consent education, and crime reporting requirements exist, the DoED should not be treating inquiries into the Jeanne Clery Act as too �sensitive� to permit meaningful public access to government records. As previously mentioned, the Jeanne Clery case is the focal point that serves to inform undergraduate students what constitutes �affirmative and effective consent� in healthy sexual relationships. Therefore, the DoED has a duty to be (without prejudice) forthcoming to inquiries that seek to shed light on the circumstances that led to the enactment of the Jeanne Clery Act, whether such inquiry is made by a current domestic undergraduate student or a former international student similarly situated to Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W [who incidentally was in the month of January 2010, at the age of 18 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]. The core issues presented in this records request are as follows. 1) Have you had conversations about the Department of Education (DoED) as a federal agency of the United States government which has on (or around) February 16th 2021 processed the FOIA request they had assigned Case No.: 21 � 00103 � F by refusing to deny that Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W was 18 (eighteen) years of age (in the month of January 2010) when he was for the first time of his life informed what constitutes affirmative and effective consent in healthy sexual relationships on the campus of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri)?

If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 8) Have you had conversations about Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black Bachelor of Arts (B.A) Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) who has witnessed his written publications paradoxically being subjected to frenzy before they were filtered and distorted on search engines such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo following his decision to recognize that the DoED have processed the FOIA request they had assigned Case No.: 21 � 00103 � F by refusing to deny that American colleges and universities that receive Title IX funding have a legal obligation to inform their freshmen undergraduate students what constitutes affirmative and effective consent in healthy sexual relationships at the very beginning of their undergraduate academic career?

If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 11) Have you had conversations about Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black B.A Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) who has witnessed his written publications paradoxically being subjected to frenzy before they were filtered and distorted on search engines such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo following his decision to recognize that the DoED have processed the FOIA request they had assigned Case No.: 21 � 00103 � F by informing him that they would redact all 1,456 pages of documents pertaining to Jeanne Clery�s time as an undergraduate student of Lehigh University? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 12) Have you had conversations about Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black B.A Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) who has never in the past contacted employees and legal representatives of the AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo ISE to demand that they generate prompts such as �michael ayele jeanne clery,� �michael ayele fbi,� �michael ayele cia,� �michael ayele death penalty,� and �michael ayele wikipedia?� If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 13) Have you had conversations about the decision of the AOL and Bing/MSN ISE to filter and distort Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W�s review of the circumstances that led to the enactment of the Jeanne Clery Act by generating unwelcome and unapproved prompts (such as �michael ayele jeanne clery,� �michael ayele fbi,� �michael ayele cia,� �michael ayele death penalty,� �michael ayele wikipedia�) that trigger artificial intelligence (AI) hallucination and misinformation? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? The public has a compelling and legitimate interest in this information because: 1) The Department of Education (DoED) has during the processing of the FOIA request that was assigned Case No.: 21 � 00103 � F refused to deny that American colleges and universities (in receipt of Title IX funding) have a legal obligation to inform their undergraduate students (at the very beginning of their undergraduate academic career) about the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery. 2) The DoED has during the processing of the FOIA request that was assigned Case No.: 21 � 00103 � F refused to deny that American colleges and universities (in receipt of Title IX funding) have a legal obligation to inform their undergraduate students (at the very beginning of their undergraduate academic career) what constitutes �affirmative and effective consent� in healthy sexual relationships. 3) The DoED has during the processing of the FOIA request that was assigned Case No.: 21 � 00103 � F explicitly informed Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W that they�ve held conversations with Lehigh University about Jeanne Ann Clery�s time as an undergraduate student (at that university) between August 1985 and April 05th 1986. 4) The DoED has during the processing of the FOIA request that was assigned Case No.: 21 � 00103 � F explicitly informed Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W that their search for responsive records located 1,456 (one thousand four hundred and fifty-six) pages of documents pertaining to Jeanne Ann Clery�s time as an undergraduate student of Lehigh University between August 1985 and April 05th 1986. 5) The DoED has during the processing of the FOIA request that was assigned Case No.: 21 � 00103 � F explicitly informed Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W that they were going to redact all 1,456 pages of documents pertaining to Jeanne Ann Clery�s time as an undergraduate student at Lehigh University between August 1985 and April 05th 1986. 6) There are many local law enforcement (LLE) agencies that have concluded memorandum of understandings (MOU) with American colleges and universities citing the Jeanne Clery Act. 7) There are many LLE agencies that have concluded memorandum of agreements (MOA) with American colleges and universities citing the Jeanne Clery Act. Expedited processing of this records request is justified because: 1) The Jeanne Clery case has become the focal point that serves to inform undergraduate students what constitutes �affirmative and effective consent� in healthy sexual relationship. 2) The Jeanne Clery case raises questions about American colleges and universities obligations pursuant to Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972. 3) The Jeanne Clery case raises questions about whether Lehigh University was informing its undergraduate students what constitutes �affirmative and effective consent� beginning Calendar Year 1973 following the enactment of the Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972. 4) The Jeanne Clery case raises questions about whether Lehigh University had informed Josoph Henry what constitutes �affirmative and effective consent� in healthy sexual relationships at the time he was an undergraduate student at that university. 5) The Jeanne Clery case raises questions about whether American colleges and universities were informing their undergraduate students what constitutes �affirmative and effective consent� beginning Calendar Year 1973 following the enactment of Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972. 6) The Jeanne Clery case raises questions about the legal obligations of American colleges and universities to unequivocally and unconditionally condemn violence committed against women irrespective of the woman racial background, sexual orientation, national origin, religious affiliation and/or disability status. 7) The Jeanne Clery case raises questions about the circumstances that led to the enactment of the Jeanne Clery Act. Under penalty of perjury, I hereby declare all the statements I have made to be true and accurate to the best of my knowledge. Be well. Stay well. Take care. Keep yourselves at arms distance. Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W Anti-Racist Human Rights Activist Audio-Visual Media Analyst Anti-Propaganda Journalist Work Cited [i] Even though Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W has never sought nor ever solicited nor ever contacted anyone to have his written publications listed and featured prominently on the AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo internet search engines (ISE); Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W has uncovered many instances where his written content were filtered, distorted, misused and misattributed. 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 of 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 published works to evaluation, examination and unsolicited comments on the AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo ISE. 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 while the AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo ISE 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 while the AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo ISE�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 08th 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, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) 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 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 during the processing of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, which was assigned Case Number 21 � 00103 - F. Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W would again like to take this opportunity to reiterate [1] that no binding written agreement exists between himself and ISE such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo, which enables them to make comments upon it; [2] that he does not welcome the insertion and the intrusion of the AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo ISE on his written content pertaining to American post-secondary academic education with regards to affirmative and effective consent.� 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 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. 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 other emails beginning 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 (beginning 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). The key questions asked by Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W about the rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery as well as 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, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) 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. Still, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W is exasperated by the very bizarre and persistent frenzy that has targeted him on the internet ever since he made the decision to publish on digital platforms [1] some of his recollections on how he was in the month of January 2010 (as an undergraduate student of 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; [2] his questions about Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972; [3] 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 08th 1990; [4] his inquiry on the exact year American colleges and universities began teaching their undergraduate students what constitutes affirmative and effective consent in healthy sexual relationships. Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W takes full-responsibility for all the statements he has made at the time he decided to publish his review of events that led to the Jeanne Clery Act. Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W also takes full-responsibility for the questions he has asked about Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972.

Ayele (a.k.a) W�s correspondence with the Department of Education (DoED) on the circumstances that led to the enactment of the Jeanne Clery Act [1] was not an isolated incident, but part of a repeated pattern; [2] has undermined transparency, accountability, and informed public understanding of how federal civil-rights-related statutes like the Jeanne Clery Act came into being; [3] has exacerbated racism and discrimination online, causing direct harm to the name, the image and the likeness of Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W. [iv] Josoph Henry, sentenced to die for the 1986 rape and murder of fellow Lehigh University student Jeanne Ann Clery, has forfeited all appeal rights in exchange for his life. Josoph Henry, 37, agreed to the deal Friday, August 30th 2002 in Northampton County Court and for the first time apologized to the Clery family. �If the bereaved family wants to shout at me, kick me, whatever, I�m willing to do anything to help them to feel at all better,� he said, looking at the judge. Clery�s parents, Howard Clery Jr. and Connie Clery of Bryn Mawr, Montgomery County, and her brother Howard Clery III showed no reaction. Connie Clery cried softly throughout the hourlong hearing, bowing her head and closing her eyes several times. Senior Judge James C. Hogan questioned Henry to ensure he understood the deal struck between his attorney, Billy Nolas of Philadelphia, and District Attorney John M. Morganelli. The Clery family supported John M. Morganelli�s decision. Josoph Henry, whose death sentence was thrown out in May of 2002, could have opted to have another punishment hearing. He said he experiences shame, depression and self-loathing because of his actions and wanted to accept a life sentence. James C. Hogan asked if Josoph Henry agreed to the deal to avoid another death penalty hearing, where he could again be sentenced to die. �I realize that is a possibility,� Josoph Henry said. (�) U.S. District Court Judge Anita B. Brody on May 16th 2002 rejected Josoph Henry�s request to hear arguments to overturn his murder conviction, but she vacated Henry�s death sentence, saying county trial Judge Michael Franciosa gave unclear jury instructions, raising the possibility that jurors didn�t follow relevant death penalty provisions. John M. Morganelli appealed Anita B. Brody�s order in June of 2002, and Billy Nolas appealed Anita B. Brody�s decision to deny Josoph Henry�s request to consider overturning the murder verdict. Under the agreement signed Friday, August 30th 2002, the case is over. Hogan resentenced Henry, telling him he will never be released from prison. On April 05th 1986, Josoph Henry had gone into Jeanne Clery�s dormitory room. While he was burglarizing the room, Jeanne Clery woke up. Josoph Henry attacked the young woman, raped, sodomized and eventually strangled her. A jury on April 25th 1987, convicted Henry of first-degree murder, rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, indecent assault, burglary, theft, robbery and aggravated assault. The Morning Call.

4101	Ayele (a.k.a) W	Hello, This is Michael A. Ayele sending this message though I now go by W and I prefer to be referred to as such. I am writing this letter for the purpose of filing a FOIA request with the City of Ann Arbor, Michigan. The basis for this records request is the November 21st 2010 article published by Psychology Today entitled �How the Black Man Became Schizophrenic.� [i] I) Requested Records What I am requesting for prompt disclosure are records in your possession detailing your discussions about [1] Psychology Today as an American news media outlet which had on (or around) November 21st 2010 (i) sardonically noted how �once upon a time, a strange thing happened at the Ionia State Hospital in Michigan: a diagnosis of schizophrenia exited the body of a white housewife, flew across the hospital, and landed on a young Black man from the housing projects of Detroit, burrowing into his body and stubbornly refusing to leave;� (ii) recognized that before the 1950s, �the overwhelming majority of those diagnosed with schizophrenia were white women;� (iii) recognized that the �schizophrenia� diagnosis underwent a �rhetorical transformation from an illness of white feminine docility to one of Black male hostility� as a direct consequence of the civil rights movement of the 1960s; [2] Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as Black Bachelor of Arts (B.A) Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) and a former Missouri state government employee (listed on Missouri�s Accountability Portal) who has witnessed his written content being subjected to frenzy before it was filtered and distorted on internet search engines (ISE) such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo following his decision to recognize that (i) the �schizophrenia� diagnosis has historically been associated with white women prior to the 1960s; (ii) the �schizophrenia� diagnosis is intricately linked with the now discredited �drapetomania� diagnosis; (iii) Blacks and African Americans are five to seven times more likely than white people to be erroneously and wrongfully diagnosed with �schizophrenia� when living in the territory of the U.S.A; (iv) there�s very probably some type of fraud at play whenever an unsolicited white psychologist and/or psychiatrist (whose expertise have not been sought) declares a Black person to be �schizophrenic;� [3] the decision of the Bing/MSN ISE to filter and distort Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W� written publications on matters related to the history of the �schizophrenia� diagnosis by generating unwelcome and unapproved queries such as �Understanding Michael A. Ayele�s Habeas Corpus Petition,� �Michael Ayele�s FOIA Requests,� �michael ayele articles,� �michael ayele journalist,� �michael ayele website,� �michael ayele redistribution agreement;�[ii] [4] the decision of the American Psychological Association (APA) to recognize in the month of February 2021 that (i) �racism has been an enduring, insidious, and pervasive feature of the United States (U.S.) landscape;� (ii) �racism is not only limited to racist ideas, attributions, expectations, assumptions, and behaviors held by individuals but also has shaped and undermined almost every aspect of U.S society, including our laws, policies, educational systems, customs, and cultural narratives, weakening our political and civil institutions and creating many political and social fissures;� (iii) �racism intersects with other social and personal identities (e.g., age, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ability status, socioeconomic status, etc.) in ways that compound experiences of oppression among diverse groups in the form of sexism, heterosexism, ableism;� (iv) �white privilege is unearned power that is afforded to white people on the basis of status rather than earned merit and protects white people from the consequences of being racist and benefitting from systemic racism.� [iii] � II) Request for a Fee Waiver and Expedited Processing The requested records do/will demonstrate that [1] Psychology Today is an American news media outlet which had on (or around) November 21st 2010 (i) sardonically noted how �once upon a time, a strange thing happened at the Ionia State Hospital in Michigan: a diagnosis of schizophrenia exited the body of a white housewife, flew across the hospital, and landed on a young Black man from the housing projects of Detroit, burrowing into his body and stubbornly refusing to leave;� (ii) recognized that before the 1950s, �the overwhelming majority of those diagnosed with schizophrenia were white women;� (iii) recognized that the �schizophrenia� diagnosis underwent a �rhetorical transformation from an illness of white feminine docility to one of Black male hostility� as a direct consequence of the civil rights movement of the 1960s; [2] Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W is Black Bachelor of Arts (B.A) Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) and a former Missouri state government employee (listed on Missouri�s Accountability Portal) who has witnessed his written content being subjected to frenzy before it was filtered and distorted on internet search engines (ISE) such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo following his decision to recognize that (i) the �schizophrenia� diagnosis has historically been associated with white women prior to the 1960s; (ii) the �schizophrenia� diagnosis is intricately linked with the now discredited �drapetomania� diagnosis; (iii) Blacks and African Americans are five to seven times more likely than white people to be erroneously and wrongfully diagnosed with �schizophrenia� when living in the territory of the U.S.A; (iv) there�s very probably some type of fraud at play whenever an unsolicited white psychologist and/or psychiatrist (whose expertise have not been sought) declares a Black person to be �schizophrenic;� [3] Bing/MSN ISE has filtered and distorted Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W�s written publications on matters related to the history of the �schizophrenia� diagnosis by generating unwelcome and unapproved queries such as �Understanding Michael A. Ayele�s Habeas Corpus Petition,� �Michael Ayele�s FOIA Requests,� �michael ayele articles,� �michael ayele journalist,� �michael ayele website,� �michael ayele redistribution agreement;� [4] the American Psychological Association (APA) has on (or around) October 29th 2021 recognized that the �discipline of psychology� (i) �has since its origins as a scientific discipline in the mid-19th century, contributed to the dispossession, displacement, and exploitation of communities of color;� (ii) has �contributed to the financial wealth gap and social class disparities experienced by many communities of colors;� (iii) �was complicit in contributing to systemic inequities, and hurt many through racism, racial discrimination, and denigration of color;� (iv) has for a long time throughout its history failed to recognize that �racial inequities result from laws, systems, policies, practices, and cultural narratives that reflect racial bias and white supremacist ideology;� (v) has for a long time throughout its history failed to recognize that race �is a social construct with no underlying genetic or biological basis;� (vi) has for a long time throughout its history failed to condemn �racism in all forms for its destructive psychological, social, educational and economic effects on human rights and human welfare throughout the lifespan;� (vii) has for a long time throughout its history �promulgated ideas of human hierarchy through the construction, study, and interpretation of racial differences;� (viii) has for a long time throughout its history �participated in, and disseminated scientific models and approaches rooted in scientific racism;� (ix) has for a long time throughout its history promoted pseudoscientific movements such as �eugenics� to �support segregation, sterilization, and antimarriage laws.� [iv] If truth be told, the facts presented in my request for a fee waiver and expedited processing will not bolster public confidence in the activities, the engagements and the priorities of the Bing/MSN internet search engine (ISE) because it has previously filtered and distorted Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W�s written publications on matters related to the history of the �schizophrenia� diagnosis. Unfortunately, I regret to inform you that the decision of the Bing/MSN ISE to filter and distort Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W�s written publications on matters related to the history of �schizophrenia� diagnosis [1] was not an isolated incident, but part of a repeated pattern; [2] has exacerbated racism and discrimination online, causing direct harm to the name, the image and the likeness of Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W; [3] has served to undermine the October 29th 2021 apology issued by the APA. In my judgment, the decision of the Bing/MSN ISE to generate unapproved and unwelcome queries in order to �summarize� Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W�s written publications about the history of the �schizophrenia� diagnosis should be viewed as inherently suspect because of the October 29th 2021 apology issued by the APA. As previously noted, the October 29th 2021 apology was issued by the APA as an act of institutional self-correction for the purpose of accountability. Therefore, the credibility of the October 29th 2021 APA apology hinges not only on the words of the apology itself, but also on whether that apology can be examined and tested. When ISE such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo filter, distort, fragment or mischaracterize Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W�s written publications on matters related to the history of the �schizophrenia� diagnosis, they are in essence undermining the letter and spirit of the APA�s apology. On a personal level, as a former Missouri healthcare worker and as a Black ex-immigrant of America (who has had dealings with the criminal justice system as well as the healthcare industry,) I was underwhelmed by the APA apology for 3 (three) reasons. 1)�Even though the APA recognizes that �psychologists created and promoted the widespread application of psychological tests and instruments that have been used to disadvantage many communities of color, thereby contributing to the overdiagnosis, misdiagnosis, and lack of culturally appropriate diagnostic criteria to characterize the lived experience and mental health concerns of people of color,� the APA doesn�t have a list of diagnoses people should be wary of because of their historically documented tendency to exacerbate racism and discrimination. In my opinion, the decision of the APA not to identify the �schizophrenia� diagnosis as inherently suspect (particularly when it targets a Black / African American man) was a very shocking error. 2) Even though the APA recognizes that �psychologists created and promoted the widespread application of psychological tests and instruments that have been used to disadvantage many communities of color, thereby contributing to the overdiagnosis, misdiagnosis, and lack of culturally appropriate diagnostic criteria to characterize the lived experience and mental health concerns of people of color,� the APA doesn�t address the issue of how to make whole the people (and particularly Black / African American men) who [1] were erroneously labelled �schizophrenic� by white psychologists; [2] have experienced racism and discrimination in healthcare services because of the �schizophrenia� diagnosis. 3) Even though the APA recognizes that �psychologists created and promoted the widespread application of psychological tests and instruments that have been used to disadvantage many communities of color, thereby contributing to the overdiagnosis, misdiagnosis, and lack of culturally appropriate diagnostic criteria to characterize the lived experience and mental health concerns of people of color,� the APA doesn�t address the issue of how to penalize white psychologists who have intentionally (with malice) disproportionately diagnosed Black / African American men as �schizophrenic� in order to [1] further advance their medical careers; [2] perpetuate a systemic form of racism in American society. The core issues presented in this records request are as follows. 1) Have you had conversations about Psychology Today as an American news media outlet which had on (or around) November 21st 2010 sardonically noted how �once upon a time, a strange thing happened at the Ionia State Hospital in Michigan: a diagnosis of schizophrenia exited the body of a white housewife, flew across the hospital, and landed on a young Black man from the housing projects of Detroit, burrowing into his body and stubbornly refusing to leave?� If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 2) Have you had conversations about Psychology Today as an American news media outlet which had on (or around) November 21st 2010 recognized that before the 1950s, �the overwhelming majority of those diagnosed with schizophrenia were white women?� If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 3) Have you had conversations about Psychology Today as an American news media outlet which had on (or around) November 21st 2010 recognized that the �schizophrenia� diagnosis underwent a �rhetorical transformation from an illness of white feminine docility to one of Black male hostility� as a direct consequence of the civil rights movement of the 1960s? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 4) Have you had conversations about Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black Bachelor of Arts (B.A) Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) and a former Missouri healthcare employee who has witnessed his written content being paradoxically subjected to frenzy before they were very inappropriately filtered and distorted on internet search engines (ISE) such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo following his decision to recognize that the �schizophrenia� diagnosis has historically been associated with white women prior to the 1960s? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 5) Have you had conversations about Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black B.A Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) and a former Missouri healthcare employee who has witnessed his written content being paradoxically subjected to frenzy before they were very inappropriately filtered and distorted on ISE such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo following his decision to recognize that the �schizophrenia� diagnosis is intricately linked with the now discredited �drapetomania� diagnosis? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 6) Have you had conversations about Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black B.A Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) and a former Missouri healthcare employee who has witnessed his written content being paradoxically subjected to frenzy before they were very inappropriately filtered and distorted on ISE such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo following his decision to recognize that Blacks and African Americans are five to seven times more likely than white people to be erroneously and wrongfully diagnosed with �schizophrenia� when living in the territory of the U.S.A? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 7) Have you had conversations about Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black B.A Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) and a former Missouri healthcare employee who has witnessed his written content being paradoxically subjected to frenzy before they were very inappropriately filtered and distorted on ISE such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo following his decision to recognize that there�s very probably some type of fraud at play whenever an unsolicited white psychologist and/or psychiatrist (whose expertise have not been sought) declares a Black person to be �schizophrenic?� If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 8) Have you had conversations about Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black B.A Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) and a former Missouri healthcare employee who has never in the past contacted employees/legal representatives of the AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo ISE to demand that they generate cues such as �Understanding Michael A.

Ayele (a.k.a) W Anti-Racist Human Rights Activist Audio-Visual Media Analyst Anti-Propaganda Journalist Work Cited [i] Once upon a time, a strange thing happened at the Ionia State Hospital in Michigan: a diagnosis of schizophrenia exited the body of a white housewife, flew across the hospital, and landed on a young Black man from the housing projects of Detroit, burrowing into his body and stubbornly refusing to leave. As you probably know, Black men in the United States are disproportionately diagnosed with schizophrenia. But what you may not know is when this pattern emerged, or why. Up until the 1950s, the overwhelming majority of those diagnosed with schizophrenia were white. They were called delicate or eccentric � poets, academics, middle-class women like Alice Wilson in Jonathan Metzl�s The Protest Psychosis, �driven to insanity by the dual pressures of housework and motherhood.��Then, in the mid-1960s, the Long Hot Summers hit urban America. Smoldering anger over racism and poverty erupted into rioting, fires, and harsh repression. In Detroit, a police raid on a party triggered an uprising that left 43 dead, 1,189 (one thousand one hundred and eighty-nine) injured, and more than 7,000 (seven thousand) arrested. Convinced that they would never win civil rights through sit-down strikes, a nascent Black Power movement became increasingly militant. Coincidentally, just as this urban unrest was reaching its zenith, the American Psychiatric Association was busy revising its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Published in 1968, the DSM-II was touted as a more objective and scientific document than its 1952 predecessor.��However, the DSM-II was far from the objective, universal text that its authors envisioned,� writes Metzl, a psychiatry and women�s studies professor and director of the Culture, Health and Medicine Program at the University of Michigan. (�) The psychoanalytically imbued �schizophrenic reaction� of the DSM-I was an illness meriting pity and compassion rather than fear. In contrast, the DSM-II�s more biologically oriented schizophrenia was menacing and required containment. In particular, the language that described the paranoid subtype foregrounded �masculinized hostility, violence, and aggression,� implicitly pathologizing militant protest as mental illness. Almost overnight, the previous class of schizophrenics at Ionia State Hospital was relabeled with depressive disorders. As the formerly schizophrenic exited the hospital en masse in the wake of the Community Mental Health Centers Act of 1963, their places were taken by a new class of schizophrenics � volatile young Black men from inner-city Detroit. A mountain of archived charts from the defunct asylum at Ionia provided the raw material for The Protest Psychosis. In his four years of sifting through the treasure trove of data, Metzl found clear evidence of shifting racial and gender patterns in diagnosis. Because the DSM-II was published in the days before computers, clerk typists simply used hatch marks (/) to mark out the old diagnoses, leaving them clearly legible alongside the new. Randomly selecting a subset of charts of white women patients, Metzl found schizophrenic diagnoses crossed out, and replaced with labels such as Depressive Neurosis or Involitional Melancholia. In contrast, the charts of African American men saw the Psychopathic Personality crossed out to make war for the DSM-II�s schizophrenia, paranoid type. Neither set of patients had undergone a sudden metamorphosis. Their observable symptoms and behaviors, as documented by their chart notes, remained the same. The only thing that changed was the diagnostic manual.�Psychology Today. November 21st�2010. How the Black Man Became Schizophrenic.

February 2021. https://www.apa.org/about/policy/resolution-combat-racism.pdf [iv] The American Psychological Association failed in its role leading the discipline of psychology, was complicit in contributing to systemic inequities, and hurt many through racism, racial�discrimination, and denigration of people of color, thereby falling short on its mission to benefit society and improve lives. APA is profoundly sorry, accepts responsibility for, and owns the actions and inactions of APA itself, the discipline of psychology, and individual psychologists who stood as leaders for the organization and field. The governing body within APA should have apologized to people of color before today. APA, and many in psychology, have long considered such an apology, but failed to accept responsibility. APA previously engaged in unsuccessful efforts to issue apologies in the past, including an apology to Indigenous peoples. The work done to make this apology to people of color a reality was led by the people and voices of a broad cross-section of today�s APA�members, APA�s elected and appointed leaders, and staff�in a shared commitment to not only truly assess the harms and the harmed, but also to take responsibility and commit to taking those collective learnings and direct them into an apology that will affect true change. It is informed by listening with intention to the voices of the past�as outlined in a stunning chronology of psychology�s history�and especially informed by the voices of today, the lived experience of psychologists of color, Ethnic Psychological Associations, and those who serve people of color. Consistent with its February 2021 commitment to catalogue the long history of harms to people of color and to inform an apology and a path forward toward healing and reconciliation, APA commissioned historical research by the Cummings Center for the History of Psychology at the University of Akron (Cummings Center, 2021). In addition, recognizing that many existing historical records and narratives have been centered in whiteness, APA also concluded that it was imperative to capture oral history and the lived experiences of communities of color, so commissioned a series of listening sessions and surveys, which also inform this resolution, by Jernigan & Associates Consulting. The narrative that emerged from the listening sessions, surveys, and historical findings put into stark amplification the impact of well-known and lesser-known actions. It leaves us, as APA leaders, with profound regret and deep remorse for the long-term impact of our failures as an association, a discipline, and as individual psychologists. We know too well that history can repeat itself, that the past informs the present, and that many harms will continue to be perpetuated absent purposeful intervention. In offering an apology for these harms, APA acknowledges that recognition and apology only ring true when accompanied by action; by not only bringing awareness of the past into the present but in acting to ensure reconciliation, repair, and renewal. We stand committed to purposeful intervention, and to ensuring that APA, the field of psychology, and individual psychologists are leaders in both benefiting society and improving lives. (�) The structure of this apology focuses on acknowledging the roles of psychology and APA in promoting, perpetuating, and failing to challenge racism, and the harms that have been inflicted on communities of color as a result. It should be noted that this apology is accompanied by a second proposed resolution, �Psychology�s Role in Dismantling Systemic Racism,� which delves more deeply into methods by which psychological science can be used to remedy harms in practice, education, criminal justice, training, and other domains. Whereas�psychology cannot harness its potential to disarm and dismantle racism without addressing its own history of racism and support for human hierarchy (APA, 2021c). Since its origins as a scientific discipline in the mid-19th century, psychology has, through acts of commission and omission, contributed to the dispossession, displacement, and exploitation of communities of color. This early history of psychology, rooted in oppressive psychological science to protect whiteness, white people, and white epistemologies, reflected the social and political landscape of the U.S. at that time. Psychology developed under these conditions, helped to create, express, and sustain them, continues to bear their indelible imprint, and often continues to publish research that conforms with White racial hierarchy (Cummings Center, 2021; Helms 2003; Luther et al., 1996; Santiago-Rivera et al., 2016). Whereas�APA was established by white male leadership, many of whom contributed to scientific inquiry and methods that perpetuated systemic racial oppression, including promoting the ideas of early 20th century eugenics; Eugenics is defined as the idea that racial differences and hierarchies are biologically based and fixed, and was used to support segregation, sterilization, and antimarriage laws (Cummings Center, 2021). Whereas�eugenicists focused on the measurement of intelligence, health, and capability, concepts which were adopted by the field of psychology and used systemically to create the ideology of white supremacy and harm communities of color (Cummings Center, 2021; Gillham, 2001). Whereas�psychologists created, sustained, and promulgated ideas of human hierarchy through the construction, study, and interpretation of racial difference, and therefore contributed to the financial wealth gap and social class disparities experienced by many communities of color (Cummings Center, 2021). Whereas�APA has recently adopted a framework that affirms that human rights are universal and inalienable, that racism is a violation of human rights, and that APA must oppose racism in all its forms (APA, 2021e) and implemented an equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) framework (APA, 2021d) to be infused throughout the association that holds APA accountable for promoting psychological safety, emotional intelligence, and belongingness throughout APA. Whereas�in February 2021, APA �reaffirm[ed] its denunciation of racism in all forms for its destructive psychological, social, educational, and economic effects on human rights and human welfare throughout the lifespan;� committed to �undertake an analysis of psychology�s history, with the goal of understanding the harms that marginalized racial groups have experienced and the actions necessary to create a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive association, discipline, and society going forward;� and�established a standard definition of racism�and a framework for understanding the following four levels of racism in designing and implementing antiracist research, education, training, policy, and clinical applications through the lens of intersectionality: structural racism, institutional racism, interpersonal racism, and internalized racism (APA, 2021c). Whereas�this framework for understanding the four levels of racism recognizes that racism is woven into the fabric of the historical origins of the U.S. and its territories and has become integral to the functioning of its core institutions and organizations (APA, 2021c). Whereas�acts of racism have exposed long-simmering racial inequities and injustices and have prompted a national conversation about systemic racism, bigotry, and xenophobia (APA, 2020a, 2021c). Whereas�psychology has minimized and marginalized psychologists from communities of color and their contributions to the field (Guthrie, 2004). APA specifically acknowledges the harm it caused the field and the Black community during the height of the civil rights movement. APA ignored the opportunity to take a formidable stand to address poverty, racism, and social concerns affecting African Americans, despite the strong advocacy of our members, some of whom consequently left the organization to form the Association of Black Psychologists (ABPsi), an independent association. Further, APA acknowledges often excluding American Arab, Middle Eastern/North African (AMENA) individuals from APA statements regarding the impact of racism and discrimination and makes an affirmative statement here regarding their inclusion in this resolution (Awad et al., 2019). Whereas�psychologists established, participated in, and disseminated scientific models and approaches rooted in scientific racism when the discipline was first founded (Winston, 2020). Whereas�the field of psychology has not historically supported research on communities of color by not adequately reporting and including them, minimally reporting them as a demographic data point, and/or interpreting results based on Eurocentric research standards, thereby perpetuating invisibility and resulting in a lack of quality research that can inform practices and policies that impact communities of color (Helms et al., 2005; Buchanan, Perez, Prinstein, & Thurston, in press). Whereas�these views have often been centered in research used to advance the careers of white researchers who became �experts� with respect to the ethnically diverse studied group, without providing any follow up to that community or insight into the data findings and the implications for the researched community (Buchanan et al., in press; McFarling, 2021). Whereas�a general lack of faculty and advisors of color to assist with navigating and completing graduate programs has placed great burdens on current faculty of color to support students of color and champion all university-related issues pertaining to race and diversity, all of which is a consequence of racial disparities in the field and discipline of psychology which may be rooted in negative training-related and other experiences of faculty and students of color (DeBell, 2017; Constantine & Sue, 2007; El-Ghoroury, 2012; Keels, 2017; Johnson-Bailey et al., 2009; McCoy et al., 2015). Whereas�psychological science and practice have been used by psychologists and others to support segregated and subpar education for many children of color (Jackson, 2005; Kazembe, 2021; Richards, 1997). Whereas�psychologists created and promoted the widespread application of psychological tests and instruments that have been used to disadvantage many communities of color (Fass, 1980; Helms, 2002; Kaestle, 2013; Kevles, 1968), contributing to the overdiagnosis, misdiagnosis, and lack of culturally appropriate diagnostic criteria to characterize the lived experience and mental health concerns of people of color (Anderson & Mayes, 2010; Cermele et al., 2001). Whereas�APA and its leadership failed to take concerted action in response to calls from Black psychologists (many of whom later formed ABPsi) for an end to the misuse of testing and assessment practices (including standardized assessments) and interventions in education and the workplace developed by psychologists and others that perpetuated racial inequality (Cummings Center, 2021; Gomez, Cano, & Baltes, 2021; Pickren & Tomes, 2002; Williams & Mitchell, 1978; Wilson, 2020). Whereas�for students of color, the system has been built to perpetuate multiple barriers to entry and completion, including the completion of training requirements that omit taking the perspective of diversity into account, the costs of tuition, and the costs of entrance examinations and related preparation programs (Lantz & Davis, 2017), all of which along with many other factors adversely impact the recruitment and retention and successful transition into the field of psychology for students of color. Whereas�APA recognizes that traditional diagnostic methods and standards do not always capture the contextual and lived experiences of people of color, which influences mental health outcomes and emotional well-being (Anderson & Mayes, 2010; Cermele et al., 2001). Whereas�psychology has been complicit in failing to effectively elevate the science behind the disproportionate concentration of adverse social determinants of health in communities of color, as well as the impact of climate change on these same communities. That includes acknowledging that neighborhoods populated primarily by people of color and members of low-socioeconomic backgrounds are overburdened with lack of access to healthy food, quality health care, and community safety, as well as disproportionate exposure to environmental hazards, including lead paint in older buildings, toxic waste facilities, and other sources of pollutants. As the incidence of adverse social determinants of health and climate change worsens, there will be increasingly deleterious effects on both the physical and mental health of these communities of color (Bullard et al, 2013; Rosner, 2016; Schell et al., 2020; Williams, 2018). Whereas�racist behaviors and ideologies are evidenced in the health inequities of pandemics and disease on Indigenous people (including over 570 Tribal Nations), Black/African American, Asian American, Pacific Islander American, Latina/o and Latinx, and AMENA peoples and communities; psychologists also provided ideological support for, and failed to speak out against, the colonial framework of the government-sponsored industrial (boarding) and day school systems for Indigenous youth (Cummings Center, 2021); the tragic hate crimes and killings of Black people at the hands of law enforcement; the surge in hate crimes against and ongoing harms perpetuated by �model minority� stereotyping of Asian Americans Americans (Yip, Cheah, Kiang & Hall, 2021); the inhumane treatment and systemic targeting and historical exclusion of immigrants of color from the civil rights granted by U.S. citizenship, through immigration policy and its aggressive enforcement and the mistreatment and criminalization of undocumented immigrants who lack access to a pathway to U.S. citizenship; the continuing hate crimes and speech perpetrated against AMENA people; and the overall climate of xenophobia in the U.S. These examples of racism are widespread and impact either directly or indirectly all individuals who belong to marginalized racial groups, including multiracial persons (APA, 2019, 2020a, 2020b, 2021a, 2021b). Whereas�racial inequities result from laws, systems, policies, practices, and cultural narratives that reflect racial bias and White supremacist ideology, and that APA and psychology, in keeping with the ethical values reflected in the APA Ethics Code (2016) have an important role and responsibility to disarm and dismantle racism in all its forms (APA, 2021c; Thomas, 2005; Yearby et al., 2020). Whereas�racism harms all people and infects their beliefs, ways of understanding the world, and interpersonal interactions (APA, 2021d; C.P. Jones, 2003). Therefore, be it resolved�that APA sincerely and formally acknowledges, accepts responsibility for, and owns the actions and inactions of APA itself, the discipline of psychology, and prominent individual psychologists who stood as leaders for the organization and field, and that APA sincerely and formally apologizes to communities of color for these actions and inactions. Therefore, be it resolved�that APA rejects �hegemonic science��that is, research focused on identifying and reinforcing supposed hierarchies of human value based on a White-default�and will continue to oppose it through culturally responsive training, ethical/equity-focused approaches, peer review, and publications (e.g., APA, 2021d). Therefore, be it resolved�that APA reaffirms that race is a social construct with no underlying genetic or biological basis and debunks the notion that different groups can be ranked hierarchically on the basis of physical characteristics (APA 2021c). Therefore, be it resolved�that, consistent with the 2012 Final Report of the APA Presidential Task Force on Preventing Discrimination and Promoting Diversity, the 2017 APA Multicultural Guidelines, the 2019 Race and Ethnicity Guidelines, and the 2021 Resolution on Human Rights, APA will encourage psychologists and trainees to consider the limitations of white western-oriented clinical practice, and gain awareness of other healing approaches emanating from Indigenous and other non-Western and cultural traditions. APA will continue to learn and update new information on racism in diagnosis and clinical practice, and on the pursuit of equity, diversity, and inclusion in health service psychology, including psychological testing and assessment, while fostering practice based in culturally relevant evidence. Therefore, be it resolved�that APA commits to developing future policy that is grounded in its ethical values; is based on a broad definition of research that appropriately includes knowledge by, for, and about communities of color; and decenters whiteness in science, scholarship, and practice. Given that such research is currently lacking for many communities of color, APA will advocate for increased funding and opportunities for scholars of color to fill this void and will encourage the development of future policy that considers the generalizability and appropriateness of current research to inform recommendations and actions and ensure rigorous, evidence-based approaches for all populations. Therefore, be it resolved�that APA encourages ethical scientific research that actively engages communities of color as equitable partners and is based on the lived experiences and perspectives of those communities of color to develop needed interventions created for diverse populations and delivered by diverse providers. Therefore, be it resolved�that APA will examine, review, make recommendations, or require revisions for terms referencing communities of color (such as �minority�) in journals, correspondence, titles, etc., to ensure that they are consistent with the�APA Publication Manual�(APA, 2020) and the EDI inclusive language guidelines (APA, December 2021) to accurately describe the communities in a nonderogatory manner. (�) Therefore, be it resolved�that future APA actions could include targeted apologies and restorative processes for specific communities of color that extend beyond the content, format, and style of this formal Council resolution to be responsive to, and respectful of, the unique cultures and traditions of a given group, such as by the inclusion of elements respectful of the cultural traditions of Indigenous peoples. Therefore, be it resolved�that future APA actions could also include targeted interventions to benefit other groups that have experienced systems of oppression, including those based on religion, sex, class, sexual orientation and gender diversity, and disability identity. Therefore, be it resolved�that APA reaffirms its rejection of racism and racist ideologies and its commitment to dismantling racism in all forms, including within the discipline itself, will continue to work to identify psychology�s significant potential to dismantle racism in important systems and sectors of society, and will continue to advocate for policies that create a more equitable and inclusive society that honors the needs and well-being of people of color. APA Apologizes for Longstanding Contributions to Systemic Racism.: https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2021/10/apology-systemic-racism [v] It is well known, of course, that race and insanity share a long and troubled past. In the 1850s, American psychiatrists believed that African American slaves who ran away from their white masters did so because of a mental illness called drapetomania. Medical journals of the era also described a condition called dysaesthesia aethiopis, a form of madness manifested by �rascality� and �disrespect for the master�s property� that was believed to be �cured� by extensive whipping. Even at the turn of the twentieth century, leading academic psychiatrists shamefully claimed that �Negroes� were �psychologically unfit for freedom.� (�) As a beginning illustration of the book�s main point, consider a prominent story that appeared on the front page of the Washington Post on June 28th 2005. �Racial Disparities Found in Pinpointing Mental Illness� read the headline. The article detailed a discovery that was at once shocking and sadly familiar. Researchers had examined the largest American registry of psychiatric patient records looking for �ethnic trends� in schizophrenia diagnoses. As the Post described it, schizophrenia, �a disorder that often portends years of powerful brain-altering drugs, social ostracism and forced hospitalizations�has been shown to affect all ethnic groups at the same rate.� And yet, the large government study uncovered striking categorical differences in its analysis of 134,523 case files: doctors diagnosed schizophrenia in African American patients, and particularly African American men, four times as often as in white patients. The Post cited the study�s lead author, John Zeber, who explained that doctors overdiagnosed schizophrenia in African American men even though the research team uncovered no evidence that �black patients were sicker than whites,� or that patients in either group were more likely to suffer from drug addiction, poverty, depression, or a host of other variables. According to Zeber, �the only factor that was truly important was race.� Paradoxically, we live in an era when the opposite is supposed to be the case: race should be entirely unimportant to psychiatric diagnosis. (�) Meanwhile, textbooks routinely claim that, as a biological disorder, schizophrenia is an illness that should occur in 1 percent of any given population, or one out of every hundred persons regardless of where they live, how they dress, who they know, or what type of music they happen to prefer. Yet, in the real world, 1 percent is a delusion. Not only do stories such as the Post article appear with regularity � they persist over time. In the 1960s, National Institute of Mental Health studies found that �Blacks have a 65% higher rate of schizophrenia than whites.� In 1973, a series of studies in the Archives of General Psychiatry discovered that African American patients were �significantly more likely� than white patients to receive diagnoses for other mental illnesses such as depression or bipolar disorder. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, a host of articles from leading psychiatric and medical journals showed that doctors diagnosed the paranoid subtype of schizophrenia in African American men five to seven times more often than in white men, and also more frequently than in other ethnic minority groups. Everyday racism seems a reasonable explanation for these findings. Though we might wish otherwise, medical training does not wholly free clinicians from preexisting racial beliefs, assumptions, or blind spots. While medicine has undoubtedly made significant progress toward addressing multicultural issues in clinical practice, some doctors undoubtedly harbor negative opinions about particular patients based on stereotyped cultural assumptions. As Francis Lu, a psychiatrist at the University of California at San Francisco, explains it �physician bias is a very real issue� we don�t talk about it � it�s upsetting. We see ourselves as unbiased and rational and scientific.� This book makes a broader claim: from a historical perspective, race impacts medical communication because racial tensions are structured into clinical interactions long before doctors or patients enter examination rooms. To a remarkable extent, anxieties about racial difference shape diagnostic criteria, health-care policies, medical and popular attitudes about mentally ill persons, the structures of treatment facilities, and, ultimately, the conversations that take place there within. (�) In a perfect world, interactions between doctors and patients should be immune from any process deemed destructive to health. The Hippocratic Oath decrees that the primary aim of medical encounters is to restore, not to harm.�Most physicians (�.) enter the practice of medicine out of a desire to help people. And most patients seek the aid of physicians in times when they require palliation and care. However, as the pages that follow reveal, institutional forces supersede even the best individual intentions when race and insanity are the topics of diagnostic interaction. (�) Prior to the civil rights movement, mainstream American medical and popular opinion often assumed that patients with schizophrenia were largely white, and generally harmless to society. From the 1920s to the 1950s, psychiatric textbooks depicted schizophrenia as an exceedingly broad, general condition, manifested by �emotional disharmony,� that negatively impacted white people�s abilities to �think and feel.� Authors of research articles in leading psychiatric journals, many of whom were psychoanalysts, described patients with schizophrenia, and, all too often, their �schizophrenogenic mothers,� as �native-born Americans� or immigrants of �white European ancestry.� Psychiatric authors frequently assumed that such patients were nonthreatening, and were therefore to be psychoterapeutically nurtured by their doctors, as if unruly children, but certainly not feared. Leading mainstream American newspapers in the 1920s to the 1950s similarly described schizophrenia as an illness that occurred �in the seclusive, sensitive person with few friends who has been the model of behavior in childhood,� or that afflicted white women or intellectuals. In 1935, for instance, the New York Times described how many white poets and novelists demonstrated a symptom called �grandiloquence,� a propensity toward flowery prose believed to be �one of the telltale phrases of schizophrenia, the mild form of insanity known as split personality.� Meanwhile, popular magazines such as Ladies� Home Journal and Better Homes and Gardens wrote of unhappily married, middle class white women whose schizophrenic mood swings were suggestive of �Doctor Jekyll and Mrs. Hyde,� a theme that also appeared in Olivia de Havilland�s infamous depiction of a �schizophrenic housewife� named Virginia Stuart Cunningham in the 1948 Anatole Litvak film, the Snake Pit. Of course, it was far from the case that all persons who suffered from a disease called schizophrenia during the first half of the twentieth century were members of a category called white. Rather, American culture marked schizophrenia as a disease of the mainstream in ways that encouraged identification with certain groups of people while rendering other groups invisible. For example, popular magazines in the 1920s to the 1950s incorrectly assumed that schizophrenia was a psychoanalytic condition connected to neurosis, and as a result affixed the term to middle-class housewives. Meanwhile, researchers conducted most published clinical studies in white-only wards. Such strategies occluded recognition of the countless men and women diagnosed with schizophrenia who resided in so-called Negro hospitals and suffered well outside most realms of public awareness. American assumptions about the race, gender, and temperament of schizophrenia started changing in the 1960s. Many leading medical and popular sources suddenly described schizophrenia as an illness manifested not by docility, but by rage. Growing numbers of research articles from leading psychiatric journals asserted that schizophrenia was a condition that also afflicted �Negro men,� and that black forms of the illness were marked by volatility and aggression. In the worst cases, psychiatric authors conflated the schizophrenic symptoms of African American patients with the perceived schizophrenia of civil rights protests, particularly those organized by Black Power, Black Panthers, Nation of Islam, or other activist groups. As but one example, the title of this book comes from a 1968 article that appeared in the prestigious Archives of General Psychiatry, in which psychiatrists Walter Bromberg and Frank Simon described schizophrenia as a �protest psychosis� whereby Black men developed �hostile and aggressive feelings� and �delusional anti-whiteness� after listening to the words of Malcolm X, joining the Black Muslims, or aligning with groups that preached militant resistance to white society. According to the authors, the men required psychiatric treatment because their symptoms threatened not only their own sanity, but the social order of white America. Bromberg and Simon argued that Black men who �espoused African or Islamic� ideologies, adopted �Islamic names� that were changed in such a way as to deny �the previous Anglicization of their names� in fact demonstrated a �delusional anti-whiteness� that manifest as �paranoid projections of the Negroes to the Caucasian group.� (�) Meanwhile, mainstream white newspapers in the 1960s and 1970s described schizophrenia as a condition of angry Black masculinity, or warned of crazed Black schizophrenic killers on the loose. �FBI Adds Negro Mental Patient to �10 Most Wanted List�� warned a Chicago Tribune headline in July 1966, above an article that advised readers to remain clear of �Leroy Ambrosia Frazier, an extremely dangerous and mentally unbalanced schizophrenia escapee from a mental institution, who has a lengthy criminal record and history of violent assaults.� Hollywood films such as Samuel Fuller�s 1963 B-movie classic, Shock Corridor, similarly cast the illness as arising in Black men, and particularly men who participated in civil rights protests. Schizophrenia�s rhetorical transformation from an illness of white feminine docility to one of Black male hostility resulted from a confluence of social and medical forces. Some of these forces were obvious, such as the biased actions of individual doctors, researchers, or drug advertisers, while others functioned at structural levels beyond individual perceptions. One of the key pieces of evidence I use to uncover this later process is an analysis of shifting language associated with the official psychiatric definition of schizophrenia. Prior to the 1960s, psychiatric classification systems often posited that schizophrenia was a psychological �reaction� to a splitting of the basic functions of personality. Official descriptors emphasized the generally calm nature of such persons in ways that encouraged associations with middle-class housewives. But the frame changed in the 1960s. In 1968, in the midst of a political climate marked by profound protest and social unrest, psychiatry published the second edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). That text recast the paranoid subtype of schizophrenia as a disorder of masculinized belligerence. �The patient�s attitude is frequently hostile and aggressive,� the DSM � II claimed, �and his behavior tends to be consistent with his delusions.� Growing numbers of research articles from the 1960s and 1970s used this language to assert that schizophrenia was a condition that also afflicted �Negro men,� and that Black forms of the illness were more hostile and aggressive than were white ones.

In the event that there are fees, I would request a waiver, as I am a student journalist and these records will be used in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes. The records pertain to a matter of public importance. Providing expedited production of the records will facilitate the public understanding of these matters before they are fully resolved. Any undue delay in production will undermine the purpose of the public records laws. Additionally, if any specific categories of requested records will require a significantly longer production time than those in other categories, please provide records for each category on a piecemeal basis, as they become available. If you deny any portion, or all, of this request, please provide me with a written explanation of the reason(s) for your denial, including a citation to each specific statutory exemption you believe justifies the refusal to release the information and notify me of the appeal procedures available to me under the law. If you conclude that portions of the records that I request are exempt from disclosure, please release the remainder of such records for inspection and copying, redacting only the portion or portions that you claim are exempt.

4062	Ayele (a.k.a) W	Hello, This is Michael A. Ayele sending this message though I now go by W. I am writing this letter for the purpose of filing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the City of Ann Arbor, Michigan. The basis for this record request is the National Council on Disability (NCD) January 20th 2000 report entitled �From Privileges to Rights: People Labelled with Psychiatric Disabilities Speak for Themselves.� [i] I) Requested Records What I am requesting for prompt disclosure are records in your possession detailing your discussions about [1] Michael Francis Moore as a Michigan born internationally renowned film producer who had in Calendar Year 2016 released a documentary depicting how (i) the carceral system in Norway neither incited nor encouraged violence; (ii) the carceral system in Norway actively sought to break the cycle of violence; (iii) the carceral system in Norway actively sought to rehabilitate people even if they were convicted of serious crimes such as murder; (iv) individuals in Norway convicted of murder have access to knives, Television, computers, the latest Xbox consoles (as well as other goods and services) while in prison; (v) the prison conditions in the United States of America (U.S.A) are very much encouraging and inciting of violence because of systemic racism; (vi) the carceral system in the U.S.A (in contrast to that of Norway) is not interested in breaking the cycle of violence; (vii) the carceral system in the U.S.A (in contrast to that of Norway) is very much focused on retribution, punishment and the settling of personal scores instead of rehabilitation; (viii) violence committed against Black people in American prisons should be viewed as inherently suspect;[ii] [2] the National Council on Disability (NCD) as a federal agency of the United States government which had on (or around) January 20th 2000 published a report recognizing that (i) �the manner in which American society treats people with psychiatric disabilities constitutes a national emergency and a national disgrace;� (ii) �the use of involuntary treatments such as forced drugging and inpatient and outpatient commitment laws should be viewed as inherently suspect and as incompatible with the principles of self-determination;� (iii) �aversive treatment that involve the infliction of pain or the restriction of movement for purposes of changing behavior should be banned;� [iii] [3] Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black Bachelor of Arts (B.A) Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) and a former Missouri healthcare employee (listed on Missouri�s Accountability Portal) who has witnessed his written content being subjected to frenzy before they were very inappropriately filtered and distorted on internet search engines (ISE) such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo following his decision (i) to unconditionally and unequivocally condemn the forcible administration of psychotropic drugs;[iv] (ii) to recognize that forcibly injecting a person with Thorazine is very much akin to tampering with a woman�s alcohol beverage by adding a date rape drug such as Rohypnol (flunitrazepam) and/or GHB (gamma hydroxybutyric acid) and/or Ketamine; [4] the decision of the AOL and Bing/MSN ISE to filter and distort Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W�s FOIA Request NCD 2022 � 01 by generating unwelcome and unapproved queries such as �michael ayele�s impact on mental health reform,� �michael ayele�s role in mental health rights,� �Michael Ayele ORCID Publications,� �Understanding Michael A. Ayele�s Publications,� �Understanding Michael A. Ayele�s case,� �michael ayele missing,� �michael ayele hipaa� and �michael ayele lawsuit.� [v] � II) Request for a Fee Waiver and Expedited Processing The requested records do/will demonstrate that [1] Michael Francis Moore is a Michigan born internationally renowned film producer who had in Calendar Year 2016 released a documentary depicting how (i) the carceral system in Norway neither incited nor encouraged violence; (ii) the carceral system in Norway actively sought to break the cycle of violence; (iii) the carceral system in Norway actively sought to rehabilitate people even if they were convicted of serious crimes such as murder; (iv) individuals in Norway convicted of murder have access to knives, Television, computers, the latest Xbox consoles (as well as other goods and services) while in prison; (v) the prison conditions in the United States of America (U.S.A) are very much encouraging and inciting of violence because of systemic racism; (vi) the carceral system in the U.S.A (in contrast to that of Norway) is not interested in breaking the cycle of violence; (vii) the carceral system in the U.S.A (in contrast to that of Norway) is very much focused on retribution, punishment and the settling of personal scores instead of rehabilitation; (viii) violence committed against Black people in American prisons should be viewed as inherently suspect; [2] the National Council on Disability (NCD) is a federal agency of the United States government which had on (or around) January 20th 2000 published a report recognizing that (i) �the manner in which American society treats people with psychiatric disabilities constitutes a national emergency and a national disgrace;� (ii) �the use of involuntary treatments such as forced drugging and inpatient and outpatient commitment laws should be viewed as inherently suspect and as incompatible with the principles of self-determination;� (iii) �aversive treatment that involve the infliction of pain or the restriction of movement for purposes of changing behavior should be banned;� [3] Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W is a Black Bachelor of Arts (B.A) Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) and a former Missouri healthcare employee (listed on Missouri�s Accountability Portal) who has witnessed his written content being subjected to frenzy before they were very inappropriately filtered and distorted on internet search engines (ISE) such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo following his decision (i) to unconditionally and unequivocally condemn the forcible administration of psychotropic drugs; (ii) to recognize that forcibly injecting a person with Thorazine is very much akin to tampering with a woman�s alcohol beverage by adding a date rape drug such as Rohypnol (flunitrazepam) and/or GHB (gamma hydroxybutyric acid) and/or Ketamine; [4] the decision of the AOL and Bing/MSN ISE to filter and distort Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W�s FOIA Request NCD 2022 � 01 by generating unwelcome and unapproved prompts such as �michael ayele�s impact on mental health reform,� �michael ayele�s role in mental health rights,� �Understanding Michael A. Ayele�s Publications,� �Understanding Michael A. Ayele�s case,� �michael ayele missing,� and �michael ayele lawsuit� ( https://www.bing.com/search?q=michael+ayele+lawsuit ) . If truth be told, the facts presented in my request for a fee waiver and expedited processing will not bolster public confidence in the activities, the engagements and the priorities of internet search engines (ISE) such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo because they have previously filtered, distorted and misattributed Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W�s correspondence with the National Council on Disability (NCD) on the subject of their January 20th 2000 report entitled �From Privileges to Rights: People Labelled with Psychiatric Disabilities Speak for Themselves.��Unfortunately, I regret to inform you that the decision of ISE to filter, distort and misattribute Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W�s written publications on the forcible administration of psychotropic drugs [1] was not an isolated incident, but part of a repeated pattern; [2] has served to undermine transparency and accountability in psychiatric hospital settings that use coercion in an effort to change behavior; [3] has exacerbated racism and discrimination online, causing direct harm to the name, the image and the likeness of Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W. Additionally, the facts presented in my request for a fee waiver and expedited processing will significantly decrease public confidence [1] in the so-called �mental health institutions� that forcibly administer psychotropic drugs on people with disabilities (PWD) as well as other people who don�t have a disability; [2] in those who have in the past actively sought to excuse and legitimize the forcible administration of psychotropic drugs. Therefore, I (as a former Missouri healthcare worker) would like to take this opportunity unconditionally and unequivocally condemn the practice of forcibly administering psychotropic drugs on PWD whether such practices are happening in the State of New York and/or the State of Virginia and/or the State of Maryland and/or the State of Missouri and/or the State of Texas and/or the State of Arizona and/or the State of California and/or the District of Columbia.� On a personal level, I have always believed that the forcible administration of psychotropic drugs should be viewed suspiciously because [1] the practice itself is very much akin to tampering with a woman�s alcohol beverage by adding a date rape drug such as Rohypnol (flunitrazepam) and/or GHB (gamma hydroxybutyric acid) and/or Ketamine;[vi] [2] prison conditions in the United States of America (U.S.A) are not those in Norway. For instance, the use of the racial slur �N****r� is very much encouraging and inciting of violence. However, in many prison settings of the U.S.A, the use of this racial slur has become common place and goes on without consequence. Anecdotally, while I was employed for the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH) Fulton State Hospital (FSH), I was called a �N****r� by a white patient/prisoner before I was physically attacked (by that same patient/prisoner). After this incident had transpired, I verbally told my colleagues at the MODMH that I didn�t want to be referred to as a �N****r� and if ever in the future, I was physically attacked after being called a �N****r,� I would defend myself. In the days and weeks after this incident at the MODMH (FSH), I was effectively demoted and I became a �float employee� no longer routinely assigned to the Program for Recovery, Initiation and Self-Motivation (PRISM) at the now-defunct Biggs Forensic Center (BFC). In my Calendar Year 2013 performance evaluation paperwork, staff personnel at the MODMH even noted how I had said that I would defend myself to justify the reason for my demotion. However, in that paperwork that �explained� my demotion, there�s no mention of me being called a �N****r� and being physically attacked by a white patient/prisoner even though there�s audio and video footage of this incident which was recorded by my former employers.[vii]�After I became a �float employee,� I learned that the white patient who had called me a �N****r� and attacked me was calling other Black / African American staff personnel �N****rs� before physically attacking them. Overall, I do believe that the American carceral system needs to be able to accommodate Black / African American employees who [1] are as a matter of principle opposed to the forcible administration of psychotropic drugs; [2] don�t want to be referred to as �N****rs.� Failing to do otherwise will only exacerbate violence while further fostering mistrust and resentment. The example of Norway�s prison system, as shown in Michael Moore�s 2016 documentary Where to Invade Next, demonstrates that carceral environments can effectively prioritize rehabilitation, dignity, and the reduction of violence. In other words, there�s no trade-off between treating people humanely and maintaining public safety: prisons that respect autonomy, enforce dignity, and focus on breaking cycles of harm prevent radicalization, reduce recidivism, and stop minor offenders from emerging embittered and predisposed to committing more serious crimes. By contrast, systems that rely on coercion, abuse, and dehumanization not only fail to rehabilitate, they actively create the conditions for further distrust, hostility, and destructive behavior. Implementing the recommendations of the NCD January 20th 2000 report is critically important because they provide a clear blueprint for creating correctional facilities that prioritize public safety, human dignity, and patient autonomy. Indeed, these recommendations emphasize how involuntary treatments and coercive interventions are counterproductive (in addition to being ethically unacceptable) because of their tendency to undermine trust while at the same time fostering resentment, encouraging radicalization, and increasing the likelihood that minor offenders will reoffend or escalate to more serious criminal behavior. As noted by the NCD in their January 20th 2000 report, breaking cycles of harm and strengthening positive staff-inmate relationships requires that [1] the �use of involuntary treatment such as forced drugging (�) be viewed as inherently suspect;� [2] �aversive treatment that involve the infliction of pain or the restriction of movement for purposes of changing behavior be banned.� The core issues presented in this records request are as follows. 1) Have you had conversations about Michael Francis Moore as a Michigan born internationally renowned film producer who had in Calendar Year 2016 released a documentary depicting how the carceral system in Norway neither incited nor encouraged violence?

If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 5) Have you had conversations about Michael Francis Moore as a Michigan born internationally renowned film producer who had in Calendar Year 2016 released a documentary depicting how the prison conditions in the United States of America (U.S.A) are very much encouraging and inciting of violence because of systemic racism?

If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 9) Have you had conversations about Michael Francis Moore as a Michigan born internationally renowned film producer who had in Calendar Year 2016 released a documentary depicting how violence committed against Black people in American prisons should be viewed as inherently suspect? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 10) Have you had conversations about the National Council on Disability (NCD) as a federal agency of the United States government which had on (or around) January 20th 2000 published a report recognizing that �the manner in which American society treats people with psychiatric disabilities constitutes a national emergency and a national disgrace?� If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 11) Have you had conversations about the NCD as a federal agency of the United States government which had on (or around) January 20th 2000 published a report recognizing that �the use of involuntary treatments such as forced drugging and inpatient and outpatient commitment laws should be viewed as inherently suspect and as incompatible with the principles of self-determination?� If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 12) Have you had conversations about the NCD as a federal agency of the United States government which had on (or around) January 20th 2000 published a report recognizing that �aversive treatment that involve the infliction of pain or the restriction of movement for purposes of changing behavior should be banned?� If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 13) Have you had conversations about Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black Bachelor of Arts (B.A) Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) and a former Missouri healthcare employee (listed on Missouri�s Accountability Portal) who has witnessed his written content being subjected to frenzy before they were very inappropriately filtered and distorted on internet search engines (ISE) such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo following his decision to unconditionally and unequivocally condemn the forcible administration of psychotropic drugs? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 14)�Have you had conversations about Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black B.A Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) and a former Missouri healthcare employee (listed on Missouri�s Accountability Portal) who has witnessed his written content being subjected to frenzy before they were very inappropriately filtered and distorted on ISE such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo following his decision to recognize that forcibly injecting a person with Thorazine is very much akin to tampering with a person�s alcohol beverage by adding a date rape drug such as Rohypnol (flunitrazepam), GHB (gamma hydroxybutyric acid) and Ketamine? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 15) Have you had conversations about Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black B.A Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) and a former Missouri healthcare employee (listed on Missouri�s Accountability Portal) who has never in the past contacted employees / legal representatives of the AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo ISE to demand that they generate cues such as �michael ayele�s impact on mental health reform,� �michael ayele�s role in mental health rights,� �Michael Ayele ORCID Publications,� �Understanding Michael A. Ayele�s Publications,� �Understanding Michael A. Ayele�s case,� �michael ayele missing,� and �michael ayele lawsuit?� If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 16) Have you had conversations about the decision of the AOL and Bing/MSN search engines to filter and distort Michael A.

Ayele�s Publications,� �Understanding Michael A. Ayele�s case,� �michael ayele missing,� and �michael ayele lawsuit?� If yes, will you promptly disclose those records?

Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W Anti-Racist Human Rights Activist Audio-Visual Media Analyst Anti-Propaganda Journalist Work Cited [i] The National Council on Disability (NCD) is an independent federal agency mandated to make recommendations to the President and Congress on disability issues. NCD generally does its work in a cross-disability manner, emphasizing that people with disabilities should be the ones who make the major decisions about their lives. NCD endorses and supports the principles of independent living, which has achieved the success it has because it is rooted in two unwavering principles: self-determination and consumer direction. People with psychiatric disabilities are routinely deprived of their rights in a way no other disability group has been. In order to learn more about the problems of psychiatric disability, NCD conducted a hearing specifically on this topic. At the hearing, held in Albany, New York, in November 1998, NCD heard testimony from mental health professionals, lawyers, advocates, and relatives of people with psychiatric disabilities. However, unlike most investigations on the topic of psychiatric disability, the primary participants in this hearing were people with psychiatric disabilities themselves, who testified passionately and eloquently both about the mistreatment they had experienced or witnessed, and their proposals for real and viable change. NCD heard testimony graphically describing how people with psychiatric disabilities have been beaten, shocked, isolated, incarcerated, restricted, raped, deprived of food and bathroom privileges, and physically and psychologically abused in institutions and in their communities. The testimony pointed to the inescapable fact that people with psychiatric disabilities are systematically and routinely deprived of their rights, and treated as less than full citizens or full human beings. (�) Based on the testimony it received, NCD has concluded that the manner in which American society treats people with psychiatric disabilities constitutes a national emergency and a national disgrace. Because people with psychiatric disabilities are routinely deprived of their most fundamental rights, NCD believes that drastic change is necessary in a number of systems that deal with this population. Changes must be made not only in the mental health system, but in the criminal and civil justice systems, housing, income supports, education, job training, and many others, so that people with psychiatric disabilities are guaranteed their fundamental rights as American citizens. (�) NCD has also concluded that one of the reasons public policy concerning psychiatric disability is so different from that concerning other disabilities is the systematic exclusion of people with psychiatric disabilities from policymaking. It is rare that people with psychiatric disabilities are heard in public-policy forums, and when they are, it is usually in token numbers. NCD�s hearing was unique because it focused its attention on the direct experiences of people with psychiatric disabilities themselves, and their calls for fundamental change. The foremost change that is needed, as referred to by speaker after speaker, is the elimination of coercion from the provision of mental health services. Involuntary commitment and forced treatment, which often go unquestioned in discussions of mental health policy, were described again and again as being among the most painful and difficult experiences of people�s lives. In addition, coercion was repeatedly noted as being a barrier to seeking out voluntary treatment, since people knew that once they entered the treatment system they could be coerced or involuntarily committed at any point. At a time when American citizens are being urged to do away with the stigma of mental illness and to voluntarily seek treatment for emotional difficulties, it becomes particularly important to ensure that people are able to do so without surrendering their fundamental rights. Therefore, NCD recommends that the use of involuntary treatments, such as forced drugging and inpatient and outpatient commitment laws, should be viewed as inherently suspect and as incompatible with the principles of self-determination. Public policy should be directed toward establishing a totally voluntary mental health system. NCD also recommends that aversive treatments, which involve the infliction of pain or the restriction of movement for purposes of changing behavior, should be banned, since they are also incompatible with self-determination principles. Practices that would often be illegal if administered to people without disabilities are routinely used on people with psychiatric disabilities in the name of �treatment.� Such practices should shock the consciences of all Americans.

YouTube.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cd7Dc9KTy20 [iii] The recommendations that follow center on the importance of self-determination, dignity, and choice as the cornerstone of public policy for people in this highly disempowered population. As Congress stated when it passed ADA, disability is a natural part of the human experience that in no way should limit the ability of people to make choices, pursue meaningful careers, live independently, and participate fully in all aspects of American society. NCD believes that these recommendations, if implemented, would help to ensure that the public policy goals articulated in ADA become a reality for people labeled with psychiatric disabilities in the United States. Therefore, NCD has developed 10 core recommendations in this report. These policy recommendations should be viewed from the context of the larger report, which follows. These deeply held core beliefs form, however, a dynamic backdrop to highlight the human and civil rights of people who have experienced the mental health system, people who should be viewed as the true experts on their experiences, beliefs, and values, which should be used as a guiding force for changing public policy related to these issues in America. 1) Laws that allow the use of involuntary treatments such as forced drugging and inpatient and outpatient commitment should be viewed as inherently suspect, because they are incompatible with the principle of self-determination. Public policy needs to move in the direction of a totally voluntary community-based mental health system that safeguards human dignity and respects individual autonomy. 2) People labeled with psychiatric disabilities should have a major role in the direction and control of programs and services designed for their benefit. This central role must be played by people labeled with psychiatric disabilities themselves, and should not be confused with the roles that family members, professional advocates, and others often play when �consumer� input is sought. 3) Mental health treatment should be about healing, not punishment. Accordingly, the use of aversive treatments, including physical and chemical restraints, seclusion, and similar techniques that restrict freedom of movement, should be banned. Also, public policy should move toward the elimination of electro-convulsive therapy and psycho surgery as unproven and inherently inhumane procedures. Effective humane alternatives to these techniques exist now and should be promoted. 4) Federal research and demonstration resources should place a higher priority on the development of culturally appropriate alternatives to the medical and biochemical approaches to treatment of people labeled with psychiatric disabilities, including self-help, peer support, and other consumer/survivor-driven alternatives to the traditional mental health system. 5) Eligibility for services in the community should never be contingent on participation in treatment programs. People labeled with psychiatric disabilities should be able to select from a menu of independently available services and programs, including mental health services, housing, vocational training, and job placement, and should be free to reject any service or program. Moreover, in part in response to the Supreme Court�s decision in Olmstead v. L C., State and federal governments should work with people labeled with psychiatric disabilities and others receiving publicly-funded care in institutions to expand culturally appropriate home- and community-based supports so that people are able to leave institutional care and, if they choose, access an effective, flexible, consumer/survivor-driven system of supports and services in the community. 6) Employment and training and vocational rehabilitation programs must account for the wide range of abilities, skills, knowledge, and experience of people labeled with psychiatric disabilities by administering programs that are highly individualized and responsive to the abilities, preferences, and personal goals of program participants. 7) Federal income support programs like Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability Insurance should provide flexible and work-friendly support options so that people with episodic or unpredictable disabilities are not required to participate in the current �all or nothing� federal disability benefit system, often at the expense of pursuing their employment goals. 8) To assure that parity laws do not make it easier to force people into accepting �treatments� they do not want, it is critical that these laws define parity only in terms of voluntary treatments and services. 9) Government civil rights enforcement agencies and publicly-funded advocacy organizations should work more closely together and with adequate funding to implement effectively critical existing laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act, Fair Housing Act, Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act, Protection and Advocacy for Individuals with Mental Illness Act, and Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, giving people labeled with psychiatric disabilities a central role in setting the priorities for enforcement and implementation of these laws. 10) Federal, state, and local governments, including education, health care, social services, juvenile justice, and civil rights enforcement agencies, must work together to reduce the placement of children and young adults with disabilities, particularly those labeled seriously emotionally disturbed, in correctional facilities and other segregated settings. These placements are often harmful, inconsistent with the federally-protected right to a free and appropriate public education, and unnecessary if timely, coordinated, family-centered supports and services are made available in mainstream settings.

Ayele (a.k.a) W on (or around) September 12th 2021 and September 20th 2021 to the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH) Fulton State Hospital (FSH) Hello, I am writing this letter in response to your correspondence from August 26th 2021. (�) Please be advised that I have concerns about the records you have disclosed on August 26th 2021 because of the language used by the Director of the Division of Behavioral Health (DBH) about the involuntary administration of psychotropic drugs. As a former employee of the DMH (FSH), I have (personally) found the language used by the Director of the DBH to be broad, unclear, and extremely vague. For instance, the Director of the DBH has noted that "all patients in the Department of Mental Health (DMH) facilities may be administered psychotropic medication on an involuntary basis when a determination of emergency is made by appropriate clinical personnel at the facility. An emergency exists where there is reasonable likelihood of imminent physical harm and/or life threatening behavior to the patient or others. The treating provider who prescribes the psychotropic medication shall document the circumstances of the emergency, the facts surrounding the medication need, and why involuntary psychotropic medication is considered the least restrictive treatment. A new order shall be written for each emergency dose. (...) Patients admitted for Inpatient Pre-Trial Evaluations pursuant to Section 552.020, RSMo, and detainees pursuant to Section 632.480 et seq., RSMo., may not be medicated, absent an emergency, without either the consent of the patient or expressed written consent from the committing court. The psychiatrist must communicate the desire to medicate such a patient to a designated assistant general counsel, who will communicate with the committing court and obtain a written order from the judge. (...) The Clinical Due Process hearing will be repeated every 6 months if the patient still needs to be involuntarily medicated or until the patient is discharged from the facility." (�) As a former employee of the DMH (FSH), I have several concerns about the language used by the Director of the DBH for failing to clearly state that employees and legal representatives of the DMH will not use force in administering psychotropic drugs onto patients/prisoners who are not posing harm to themselves and others if they do not consent to taking drugs prescribed by a doctor for their alleged mental disorders/intellectual disabilities. As you have correctly noted in the records you have disclosed to me, the forcible administration of psychotropic drugs has the potential to re-traumatize people who may have been victims of a violent crime (especially if the use of force is without appropriate medical and legal basis to justify). On a personal level, I do think it would be absurd if medical doctors would force the administration of pills such as Paracetamol upon patients suffering from a headache (who wish for their pain to go away without taking pharmaceutical drugs). Therefore, the forcible use of psychotropic drugs onto patients/prisoners of the DMH (who are not posing an immediate danger to themselves/others) is just as bizarre as medical doctors looking to forcibly administer Paracetamol onto patients wishing for their headaches to go away without taking pharmaceutical drugs (including but not limited to Paracetamol). On my end, I must caution you to refrain from forcibly administering psychotropic drugs upon patients/prisoners not posing harm to themselves and others if they do not wish to be on such drugs. I would also advise you to submit video and audio evidence of patients/prisoners posing harm to themselves and others before any hearing where employees and legal representatives of the DMH are considering the drastic measure of forcibly administering psychotropic drugs. Lastly, I would like to convey to you the concerns I have about the eagerness of the Director of the DBH to put non-violent people through the emotionally and financially draining process of guardianship. For example, the Director of the DBH has previously noted that if patients are �determined to lack adequate mental capacity but are not imminently dangerous, clinicians shall proceed by filing for guardianship.� �[In my opinion, this directive issued by the Director of the DBH is inconsistent with the National Council on Disability (NCD) January 20th 2000 report which recommended that �people labeled with psychiatric disabilities should have a major role in the direction and control of programs and services designed for their benefit. This central role must be played by people labeled with psychiatric disabilities themselves, and should not be confused with the roles that family members, professional advocates, and others often play when �consumer� input is sought.�] [v] About the Bing/MSN Internet Search Engine (ISE) Unwelcome and Unapproved Query �Michael Ayele Missing.� https://www.bing.com/search?q=michael+ayele+missing About the Bing/MSN Internet Search Engine (ISE) Unwelcome and Unapproved Query �Michael Ayele HIPAA.� https://www.bing.com/search?q=michael+ayele+HIPAA About the Bing/MSN Internet Search Engine (ISE) Unwelcome and Unapproved Query �Michael Ayele Lawsuit.� https://www.bing.com/search?q=michael+ayele+lawsuit � [vi] Date rape drugs are any type of drug used to make rape or sexual assault easier.

Reference:�����Chain of Evidence EC.02.23 [viii] Misconceptions about dangerousness are among the justifications that allow the maltreatment and abuse of people with psychiatric disabilities. With the exception of people with psychiatric disabilities themselves, few people question such routine practices as involuntary commitment, forced drugging, segregation both in institutions and community programs, and the routine use of restraint and seclusion. In order to learn more about the problems of psychiatric disability, the National Council on Disability (NCD) conducted a hearing specifically on this topic. At the hearing, held in Albany, New York, in November 1998, NCD heard testimony from mental health professionals, lawyers, advocates, and relatives of people with psychiatric disabilities. However, unlike most investigations on the topic of psychiatric disability, the primary participants in this hearing were people with psychiatric disabilities themselves, who testified passionately and eloquently both about the mistreatment they had experienced or witnessed, and their proposals for real and viable change. NCD heard testimony graphically describing how people with psychiatric disabilities have been beaten, shocked, isolated, incarcerated, restricted, raped, deprived of access to food and bathroom facilities, and physically and psychologically abused in institutions and in their communities. The testimony pointed to the inescapable fact that people with psychiatric disabilities are systematically and routinely deprived of their rights and treated as less than full citizens or full human beings. People with psychiatric disabilities are the only Americans who can have their freedom taken away and be institutionalized or incarcerated without being convicted of a crime and with minimal or no respect for their due process rights. They are the only Americans who can routinely be forced to submit to medical treatments against their will. When people with psychiatric disabilities die in facilities that are supposed to serve and protect them, their deaths are rarely investigated, and even when they are, criminal charges are rarely filed. This not happening in some Third World country. This is happening every day in the United States, and such practices are generally ignored or defended by mental health professionals, political leadership, and the media. Involuntary treatment is extremely rare outside the psychiatric system, allowable only in such cases as unconsciousness or the inability to communicate. People with psychiatric disabilities, on the other hand, even when they vigorously protest treatments they do not want, are routinely subjected to them anyway, on the justification that they �lack insight� or are unable to recognize their need for treatment because of their �mental illness.� In practice, �lack of insight� becomes disagreement with the treating professional, and people who disagree are labeled �noncompliant� or �uncooperative with treatment.� After years of contact with a system that routinely does not recognize their preferences or desires, many people with psychiatric disabilities become resigned to their fate and cease to protest openly. Although this is described in the psychiatric literature as �compliance,� it is actually learned helplessness (also known as �internalized oppression�) that is incompatible with hope and with the possibility of recovery. Traditionally, involuntary commitment has involved the loss of liberty and confinement in a facility. However, more recently the concept of involuntary outpatient commitment (IOC) has become more widespread. (�) IOC involves court-ordered treatment (almost always medication) for people who do not meet the standards for inpatient commitment (physical dangerousness to self or others). With more states enacting IOC laws, more people with psychiatric disabilities are being forced to take medications and treatments that can be painful and debilitating. At the same time, the desire of many people labeled with psychiatric disabilities for voluntary services that affect their real-life needs (such as housing, job training, and social support) seldom receive adequate funding. One of the consequences of IOC laws is that they often take money from voluntary programs that promote independence and redirect it toward ever more restrictive and punitive programs. Antiquated public policy priorities based on the medical model play key roles in perpetuating these injustices. These policies have been shaped without any meaningful participation by people labeled with psychiatric disabilities. America must listen to the eloquent voices of people who live with psychiatric disabilities, and accept them as the real experts who can create humane and empowering public policies dedicated to the ideals of independent living�self-determination and consumer direction. (�) Anyone with a psychiatric disability, in fact anyone deemed by a mental health professional or police officer with little or no training to have such a disability, can be legally deprived of their freedom simply with an order from a judge, law officer, or medical professional. The due process procedures to challenge those decisions, and the laws and agencies that are supposed to protect and defend the legal rights of people affected by such orders, are often inadequate, ineffective, underfunded, inaccessible, or disregarded. Even when people are entitled to hearings, these are usually brief, and representation by counsel is often inadequate or nonexistent. The Protection and Advocacy for Individuals with Mental Illness (PAIMI) program of the federally funded Protection and Advocacy (P&A) system is underfunded and inadequate because of statutory limitations to protect people labeled with psychiatric disabilities from abuse and neglect. Further, the PAIMI program itself, in common with other elements of the services system for people labeled with psychiatric disabilities, has little input from the people it is supposed to serve, nor do many agencies reach out to people in recovery to seek their input. Once the system fails them and they are defined as �mentally ill,� people labeled with psychiatric disabilities are isolated from and ignored by society. (�) A 1997 report by the California P&A describes a pattern of improper seclusion and restraint use from 1994 to 1996 at Napa State Hospital (NSH), one of four state hospitals operated by the California Department of Mental Health. Incidents included: a) the death of a deaf man with a physical disability who was improperly restrained in a chair; b) the unlawful restraint of two children with hearing impairments in their beds; and c) the seclusion of a child with a hearing impairment in a closet full of soiled linens. For more than a year and a half, one unit at the hospital repeatedly secluded patients. When the abuse was finally reported by a staff member, the shift leader successfully encouraged other staff to engage in a cover-up, and to lie to management and Napa State Hospital�s (NSH�s) senior special investigator during the institution�s initial internal investigation. P&A investigators also determined that the facility�s primary law enforcement officer responsible for investigating the alleged abuse failed to conduct a minimally adequate investigation into the seclusion practices on the unit. The report concluded that both felonies and misdemeanors, including assault, battery, false imprisonment, criminal conspiracy, child endangerment, and corporal punishment of a child may have been committed by NSH employees. But no criminal charges were filed� National Council on Disability (NCD). January 20th 2000. From Privileges to Rights: People Labeled with Psychiatric Disabilities Speak for Themselves.

4032	Petrou	January 7, 2025 Dear City of Ann Arbor, Under Foia, I am requesting a copy of Dr. Bradley Foerster�s January 6 2026 and January 7, 2026 communications to which City Attorney Kaur and Mayor Taylor were copied regarding AAPD Case #25-34937 asking Police Chief Anderson and the AAPD why: After months and months and much back and forth, the police report never answered the basic aims for which the complaint was filed in July 2025: 1. How were the proceeds of the Sheriff�s sale allocated and why the first lien position on the Bank of Ann Arbor loan (Bank of America 1745 Brian Court mortgage) was not paid at Sheriff�s sale? 2. How did the Bank of Ann Arbor claim complete ownership of 1745 Brian Court on the Sheriff�s deed given that there was an outstanding Bank of America loan on the property for over $250K? 3. Why is there more than $250K from the total $1.4M Sheriff�s sale proceeds totally missing from the Bank of Ann Arbor�s ledger? Dr. Foerster also asked why the police report is full of blanket statements by the Bank of Ann Arbor and superfluous and extraneous documents (e.g. court documents that are not relevant to the above questions) which do not answer the aims of the police investigation. I have also filed a FOIA request to the AAPD for this communication but want to confirm that City Attorney Kaur and Mayor Taylor received their copy.

4033	Ayele (a.k.a) W	Hello, This is Michael A. Ayele sending this message though I now go by W and I prefer to be referred to as such. I am writing this letter for the purpose of filing a FOIA Request with the City of Ann Arbor, Michigan. The bases for this records request are the murders of Roshelle Clayborn and Edith Campos (when they were respectively 16 and 15 years of age). I) Requested Records What I am requesting for prompt disclosure are records in your possession detailing your discussions about [1] Roshelle Clayborn as a girl who was 16 (sixteen) years of age on (or around) August 18th 1997 when she was murdered by staff personnel of the Laurel Ridge Residential Center (located in San Antonio, Texas);[i] [2] Edith Campos as a girl who was 15 (fifteen) years of age on (or around) February 02nd 1998 when she was murdered by staff personnel of Desert Hills Psychiatric Center (located in Tucson, Arizona);[ii] [3] the Hartford Courant as an American news media outlet which had in October 1998 recognized that (i) the forcible administration of psychotropic drugs is a factor increasing the risk of murder in psychiatric hospital settings; (ii) children below the age of 18 (eighteen) �disproportionately bear the brunt of the misuse and overuse of restraints;� [iii] �(iii) the Joint Commission has been complicit in cases where the forcible administration of psychotropic drugs in a psychiatric hospital has led to the murder of a patient; (iv) the Joint Commission was an accessory to the June 29th 1998 murder of Gloria Huntley at Central State Hospital (located in Petersburg, Virginia); (v) the Joint Commission comforted Central State Hospital following the June 29th 1996 murder of Gloria Huntley by giving them glowing reviews and awarding them 92 out of 100 points;[iv] [4] Cornell University as a post-secondary academic institution that defines the term (i) �accessory� as someone who aided or contributed to the commission or concealment of a crime; (ii) �accessory before-the-fact� as someone who did anything to encourage, aid, or assist in any material manner in the commission of crime, thereby participating in the design of a crime; (iii) �accessory-after-the-fact� as someone who, knowing a crime was committed, receives, relieves, comforts, or assists the offender or in any manner aids them to escape arrest or punishment.;[v] [5] Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black Bachelor of Arts (B.A) Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) and a former Missouri state government employee (listed on Missouri�s Accountability Portal) who has witnessed his written content being paradoxically subjected to frenzy before they were very inappropriately filtered and distorted on search engines such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo following his decision to recognize that (i) Catherine Daisy Coleman was sexually assaulted on (or around) January 08th 2012 in Maryville, Missouri; (ii) Catherine Daisy Coleman committed suicide on (or around) August 04th 2020 in Denver, Colorado; (iii) the August 04th 2020 suicide of Catherine Daisy Coleman raises questions on matters pertaining to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA); (iv) the provisions of HIPAA enable current and/or former healthcare workers to express written and/or verbal objections to medical treatment they consider to be xenophobic, sexist and/or racist;[vi] (v) thirty-three percent (33%) of women who are raped contemplate suicide; (vi) thirteen percent (13%) of women who are raped attempt suicide; (vii) �statutes of limitation for sexual assault need to be crafted in a way that does not cause the covering up company to enjoy the fruits of their cover-up solely because our statutes of limitation permit and thus motivate, such behavior.� [vii] II) Request for a Fee Waiver and Expedited Processing The requested records do/will demonstrate that [1] Roshelle Clayborn who was 16 (sixteen) years of age on (or around) August 18th 1997 when she was murdered by staff personnel of the Laurel Ridge Residential Center (located in San Antonio, Texas); [2] Edith Campos was 15 (fifteen) years of age on (or around) February 02nd 1998 when she was murdered by staff personnel of Desert Hills Psychiatric Center (located in Tucson, Arizona); [3] the Hartford Courant is an American news media outlet which had in October 1998 recognized that (i) the forcible administration of psychotropic drugs is a factor increasing the risk of murder in psychiatric hospital settings; (ii) children below the age of 18 (eighteen) �disproportionately bear the brunt of the misuse and overuse of restraints;� (iii) the Joint Commission has been complicit in cases where the forcible administration of psychotropic drugs in a psychiatric hospital has led to the murder of a patient; (iv) the Joint Commission was an accessory to the June 29th 1998 murder of Gloria Huntley at Central State Hospital (located in Petersburg, Virginia); (v) the Joint Commission comforted Central State Hospital following the June 29th 1996 murder of Gloria Huntley by giving them glowing reviews and awarding them 92 out of 100 points; [4] Cornell University is a post-secondary academic institution that defines the term (i) �accessory� as someone who aided or contributed to the commission or concealment of a crime; (ii) �accessory before-the-fact� as someone who did anything to encourage, aid, or assist in any material manner in the commission of crime, thereby participating in the design of a crime; (iii) �accessory-after-the-fact� as someone who, knowing a crime was committed, receives, relieves, comforts, or assists the offender or in any manner aids them to escape arrest or punishment.; [5] Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W is a Black Bachelor of Arts (B.A) Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) and a former Missouri state government employee (listed on Missouri�s Accountability Portal) who has witnessed his written content being paradoxically subjected to frenzy before they were very inappropriately filtered and distorted on search engines such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo following his decision to recognize that (i) Catherine Daisy Coleman was sexually assaulted on (or around) January 08th 2012 in Maryville, Missouri; (ii) Catherine Daisy Coleman committed suicide on (or around) August 04th 2020 in Denver, Colorado; (iii) the August 04th 2020 suicide of Catherine Daisy Coleman raises questions on matters pertaining to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA); (iv) the provisions of the HIPAA enable current and/or former healthcare workers to express written and/or verbal objections to medical treatment they consider to be xenophobic, sexist and/or racist; (v) thirty-three percent (33%) of women who are raped contemplate suicide; (vi) thirteen percent (13%) of women who are raped attempt suicide; (vii) �statutes of limitation for sexual assault need to be crafted in a way that does not cause the covering up company to enjoy the fruits of their cover-up solely because our statutes of limitation permit and thus motivate, such behavior.� In my judgment, the facts presented in my request for a fee waiver and expedited processing will not bolster public confidence in the circumstances that led to the murders of Roshelle Clayborn and Edith Campos because the murders of these two girls reveal a pattern of institutional conduct where coercive medical practices, poor oversight, and regulatory complicity converge with fatal consequences for children placed in facilities that are supposed to provide mental health care. For me, Roshelle Clayborn�s last words � �I can�t breathe� � (spoken as a Black girl) highlight the lethal consequences of restraint practices that placed her in a prone position, thereby directly contributing to her death. That restraint choice was not an unforeseeable accident, but a decision made within a clinical setting that should have recognized the medical danger of placing a child in a prone position. When Roshelle Clayborn cried out �I can�t breathe� after being forcibly placed in a prone position, she signaled that she was in distress and that she needed help. In that moment, the appropriate reaction from any unbiased healthcare provider would have been to recognize the pain she was feeling, release the restraint, and immediately start working on her labored breathing. However, this didn�t happen, and as a direct consequence, Roshelle Clayborn ended up dying in an institution that claims to be a �treatment center.� Unfortunately, Edith Campos�s experience at Desert Hills Psychiatric Center (Tucson, Arizona) reflects a similar failure of care to that of Roshelle Clayborn. Like Roshelle Clayborn, Edith Campos was placed in the hands of healthcare workers who (most likely had watched one too many John Wayne movies and) acted like �cowboys� by prioritizing control, intimidation, and aggressive enforcement (that leaves no room for reasonable compromise). Like Roshelle Clayborn, Edith Campos was also subjected to an environment where healthcare workers responded to anguish (and difficult episodes) with coercion instead of logic, compassion, empathy and kindness. The parallels between Roshelle Clayborn and Edith Campos are striking because both girls routinely engaged with totally unprofessional and incompetent healthcare workers during their stay at Laurel Ridge Residential Center (San Antonio, Texas) and Desert Hills Psychiatric Center (Tucson, Arizona). In both cases, there�s an endemic overreliance on brute force and punitive approaches in order to change behavior, and this ultimately leads to murder. Incidentally, both institutions failed to intervene in ways that could have made a positive impact on the lives of Roshelle Clayborn and Edith Campos (even though these girls were impressionable teenagers looking for positive guidance and good mentorship). Overall, the murders of Roshelle Clayborn and Edith Campos underpin a broader pattern where violence (rooted in coercive practices) replaces therapeutic support in hospitals that claim to provide �mental health care.� Moreover, the facts presented in this request for a fee waiver and expedited processing will not bolster public confidence in the activities, the engagements and the priorities of the Joint Commission because they were very much complicit in the June 29th 1996 murder of Gloria Huntley at Central State Hospital (Petersburg, Virginia). As previously noted by the Hartford Courant in their October 13th 1998 article, the Joint Commission had visited Central State Hospital in the days leading up to Gloria Huntley�s murder. After that visit, the Joint Commission had issued Central State Hospital a �glowing report card,� awarding them 92 out of 100 points. By failing to speak up on behalf of Gloria Huntley and giving Central State Hospital such a high score, the Joint Commission (in essence) gave a thumbs up to the hospital�s failure to protect patients from fatal harm. Indeed, the Joint Commission�s actions � or lack thereof � functioned as a form of encouragement and validation for the hospital�s gross negligence and medical malpractice, making their role akin to that of an accessory after-the-fact. The Joint Commission was an accessory after-the-fact in the June 29th 1996 murder of Gloria Huntley because they had knowledge of Gloria Huntley�s pain and suffering at Central State Hospital, and (armed with this knowledge,) they actively sought to relieve and comfort Central State Hospital from any responsibility for the harm they caused to Gloria Huntley�s physical and mental well-being. In my opinion, the Joint Commission�s complicity was not an innocent oversight but a form of assistance in order to prevent apprehension, trial and punishment. It should be noted that the Joint Commission very high rating of Central State Hospital is starkly inconsistent with the findings of the State of Virginia and the Department of Justice (DOJ) which concluded that [1] there was foul-play in the June 29th 1996 death of Gloria Huntley; [2] Central State Hospital does not merit the �glowing report card� awarded to them by the Joint Commission. Lastly, the facts presented in this request for a fee waiver and expedited processing will not bolster public confidence in the activities, the engagements and the priorities of the United States government particularly on matters pertaining to HIPAA, which enables current / former healthcare workers [1] to express verbal and/or written objections to medical treatment they consider to be xenophobic, sexist and/or racist; [2] to shed light on xenophobic, sexist and/or racist medical practices. Over the last couple of years, (particularly beginning the mid-2010s,) HIPAA has been consistently mischaracterized in public discourse (and public documents) as a mechanism for shielding abusive or discriminatory healthcare practices from scrutiny. However, as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) itself acknowledged in its own published guidance during the early 2010s, HIPAA was never designed to prohibit healthcare workers from expressing written and/or verbal objections to medical treatment that offends their �conscience.� Indeed, during the early 2010s, HHS had explicitly used the terminology �conscience� in this context, thereby very strongly implying that such �objections� are particularly valid in circumstances where the medical treatment that is provided to a patient is xenophobic and/or sexist and/or racist. In those earlier publicly-accessible documents, (when I was living within the territory of American between January 2010 and July 2016,) HHS had made clear that HIPAA: 1) Does not prohibit healthcare workers from expressing verbal and/or written objections to treatment they find offensive to their �conscience� particularly if there�s xenophobia, sexism and/or racism at play in the healthcare facility. 2) Does not prohibit the public and/or or the media and/or healthcare workers (whether current or former) from seeking the disclosures of personal health information (PHI) particularly in circumstances where there is credible evidence of xenophobic, sexist, racist or otherwise discriminatory medical treatment. The decision of HHS to remove (from its own website) previously published content offering guidance (to healthcare workers) on matters pertaining to HIPAA is not something that ought to be taken lightly. Rather, it's something that ought to be concerning, and as a former Missouri healthcare worker who's listed on Missouri's Accountability Portal, I am both uncomfortable and uneasy about this. � When a federal agency deletes content that once formed part of its public explanation of a federal statute, it alters the public�s ability to understand both the legislative intent and the practical application of that statute. In the case of HIPAA, the deleted guidance was not a minor detail � it directly addressed a recurring and harmful misinterpretation: the belief that HIPAA is designed to shield abusive conduct or block the exposure of racist, sexist, or xenophobic medical treatment. By removing previously published content on HIPAA without public explanation, HHS has in effect: 1) Erased part of the public record of how the federal government itself has historically interpreted HIPAA�s provisions, particularly with respect to whistleblowing and civil rights protections in healthcare. Contributed to ongoing public misunderstanding by allowing the false narrative to persist that HIPAA prohibits disclosures motivated by conscience, even when such disclosures are aimed at preventing discrimination or harm. 2) Compromised accountability by depriving healthcare workers, patients, advocates, and the press of clear federal acknowledgment that HIPAA supports � rather than silences � those who speak out against discriminatory care. The quiet deletion of HHS�s early 2010s HIPAA guidance � which affirmed the right of healthcare workers to express �objections� to xenophobic, sexist, racist and otherwise discriminatory treatment that offends their �conscience� � mirrors and compounds the filtering and distortion of my own government correspondence by internet search engines (ISE) such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo. In both cases, the result is the same: accurate and legally significant information about the scope of HIPAA is erased, altered, or rendered inaccessible to the public. As a direct consequence of this, false and harmful narratives on matters pertaining to HIPAA and suicide prevention are going unchecked. For instance, HIPAA is not, and was never intended to be a gag order. In other words, the purpose of HIPAA is not and has never been to silence (current/former) healthcare workers from speaking their �conscience� if/when they encounter �objectionable� medical treatment resulting from xenophobia, sexism and racism. Rather, HIPAA was written to protect dignity and trust in healthcare � not to suppress �objections of conscience� or to conceal systemic abuse. Regrettably though, the widespread miscasting of HIPAA as a blanket prohibition on speaking out against xenophobia, sexism and racism has enabled a culture of fear and silence to become common practice in many �mental health care� facilities, and this is leading to very outrageous, shocking and tragic outcomes, some of which have been documented in the 1998 Hartford Courant articles on �deadly restraint.� Incidentally, the 1998 Hartford Courant articles on �deadly restraint� implicitly (but very strongly) refers to HIPAA as well as the content published by the HHS in the 2010s on HIPAA related matters (before it was deleted). Therefore, it is my belief that immediate disclosure of the requested records is necessary to counteract this distortion, to restore the historical record, and to ensure that the public understands what HIPAA is � and what HIPAA is not (particularly given how the 1998 Hartford Courant articles are still publicly accessible even though the HHS guidance on HIPAA is not). The core issues presented in this records request are as follows. 1) Have you had conversations about the circumstances that led to Roshelle Clayborn�s August 18th 1997 murder at Laurel Ridge Residential Center (San Antonio, Texas)? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 2) Have you had conversations about Roshelle Clayborn being a Black girl who was 16 (sixteen) years of age at the time she was murdered on (or around) August 18th 1997 at Laurel Ridge Residential Center? If yes, will you promptly? 3) Have you ever had conversations about the last words uttered by Roshelle Clayborn before her murder: �I can�t breathe?� If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 4) Have you had conversations about the circumstances that led to Edith Campos February 02nd 1998 murder at Desert Hills Psychiatric Center (Tucson, Arizona)? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 5) Have you had conversations about Edith Campos being a girl who was 15 (fifteen) years of age at the time she was murdered at Desert Hills Psychiatric Center (Tucson, Arizona)? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 6) Have you had conversations about the October 1998 Hartford Courant decision to publicly recognize that the forcible administration of psychotropic drugs is a factor increasing the risk of murder in psychiatric hospital settings? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 7) Have you had conversations about the October 1998 Hartford Courant decision to publicly recognize that children below the age of 18 (eighteen) �disproportionately bear the brunt of the misuse and overuse of restraints?� If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 8) Have you had conversations about the October 1998 Hartford Courant decision to publicly recognize that the Joint Commission has been complicit in cases where the forcible administration of psychotropic drugs in a psychiatric hospital has led to the murder of a patient? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 9) Have you had conversations about the October 1998 Hartford Courant decision to publicly recognize that the Joint Commission was an accessory to the June 29th 1998 murder of Gloria Huntley at Central State Hospital (located in Petersburg, Virginia)? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 10) Have you had conversations about the October 1998 Hartford Courant decision to publicly recognize that the Joint Commission comforted Central State Hospital following the June 29th 1996 murder of Gloria Huntley by giving them glowing reviews and awarding them 92 out of 100 points? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 11) Have you had conversations Cornell University as a post-secondary academic institution that defines the term �accessory� as someone who aided or contributed to the commission or concealment of a crime? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 12) Have you had conversations Cornell University as a post-secondary academic institution that defines the term �accessory before-the-fact� as someone who did anything to encourage, aid, or assist in any material manner in the commission of crime, thereby participating in the design of a crime? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 13) Have you had conversations Cornell University as a post-secondary academic institution that defines the term �accessory-after-the-fact� as someone who, knowing a crime was committed, receives, relieves, comforts, or assists the offender or in any manner aids them to escape arrest or punishment? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 14) Have you had conversations about Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black B.A Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) and a former Missouri state government employee who has relied on the legislative text of California�s Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act for the purpose of asserting that thirty-three percent (33%) of women who are raped contemplate suicide? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 15) Have you had conversations about Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black B.A Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) and a former Missouri state government employee who has relied on the legislative text of California�s Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act for the purpose of asserting that thirteen percent (13%) of women who are raped attempt suicide? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 16) Have you had conversations about Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black B.A Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) and a former Missouri state government employee (listed on Missouri�s Accountability Portal) who has witnessed his written content being paradoxically subjected to frenzy before they were very inappropriately filtered and distorted on search engines such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo following his decision to recognize that 33% of women who are raped contemplate suicide? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 17) Have you had conversations about Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black B.A Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) and a former Missouri state government employee (listed on Missouri�s Accountability Portal) who has witnessed his written content�being paradoxically subjected to frenzy before they were very inappropriately filtered and distorted on search engines such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo following his decision to recognize that 13% of women who are raped attempt suicide? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 18) Have you had conversations about Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black B.A Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) and a former Missouri state government employee (listed on Missouri�s Accountability Portal) who has witnessed his written content being paradoxically subjected to frenzy before they were very inappropriately filtered and distorted on search engines such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo following his decision to recognize that the provisions of HIPAA enables current/former healthcare workers to express verbal and/or written objections to medical treatment they consider to be xenophobic, sexist and/or racist? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 19) Have you had conversations about Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black B.A Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) and a former Missouri state government employee (listed on Missouri�s Accountability Portal) who has witnessed his written content being paradoxically subjected to frenzy before they were very inappropriately filtered and distorted on search engines such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo following his decision to recognize that the provisions of HIPAA enables current / former healthcare workers to shed light on xenophobic, sexist and/or racist medical practices? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? The public has a compelling and legitimate interest in this information because: 1) HIPAA is regularly invoked � inaccurately � to silence healthcare workers or to block public access to information about xenophobic, sexist, racist and otherwise discriminatory medical practices 2) Understanding HIPAA�s true scope is directly tied to patient safety, particularly for patients vulnerable to racial, gender-based, and xenophobic discrimination in healthcare services. 3) The decision of HHS to delete previously published HIPAA content from their website raises historical transparency concerns that require immediate correction. Expedited processing is justified because: 1) This request raises legitimate questions about the integrity of government communication on public health law. 2) This request raises legitimate questions about the suppression and distortion of legally significant information by both government and private actors (including major internet search engines). 3) Delay in releasing responsive records would impair the public�s ability to understand and correct ongoing misrepresentations of federal law that affect the lives and rights of people who have had dealings with the American healthcare industrial complex. 4) The issues raised in this records request pertain to the applicability of HIPAA in suicide prevention. 5) HIPAA enables current and former healthcare workers to express written and/or verbal �objections� to medical treatment that offends their �conscience� � particularly when such treatment is the direct result of factors such as xenophobia, sexism, racism and other forms of discrimination. 6) Failure to process this request promptly and transparently will further undermine public confidence in any honest �conversation� that may be had about the applicability of HIPAA in suicide prevention. 7) Failure to process this request promptly and transparently will further undermine public confidence in any constructive �conversation� that may be had about HIPAA enabling healthcare workers to express written and/or verbal �objections� to medical treatment that offends their �conscience� because of factors such as xenophobia, sexism, racism and other forms of discrimination in healthcare services. On my end, as a former Missouri healthcare worker who�s listed on Missouri�s Accountability Portal, I hereby make a commitment to you that if you have responsive records to disclose, I will make your disclosure and our correspondence with one another accessible at no financial expense to those who may be interested in the issues presented in this records request (so long as the content of our correspondence is not being filtered and distorted on search engines such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo). Under penalty of perjury, I hereby declare all the statements I have made to be true and accurate to the best of my knowledge. Be well. Stay well. Take care.�Keep yourselves at arms distance. Michael A. Ayele�(a.k.a) W Anti-Racist Human Rights Activist� Audio-Visual Media Analyst� Anti-Propaganda Journalist Work Cited [i] Roshelle Clayborne pleaded for her life. Slammed face-down on the floor, Clayborne�s arms were yanked across her chest, her wrists gripped from behind by a mental health aide. �I can�t breathe,� the 16-year-old gasped. Her last words were ignored. A syringe delivered 50 milligrams of Thorazine into her body and, with eight staffers watching, Clayborne became, suddenly, still. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth as she lost control of her bodily functions. Her limp body was rolled into a blanket and dumped in an 8-by-10-foot room used to seclude dangerous patients at the Laurel Ridge Residential Treatment Center in San Antonio, Texas. The door clicked behind her. No one watched her die. But Roshelle Clayborne is not alone. Across the country, hundreds of patients have died after being restrained in psychiatric and mental retardation facilities, many of them in strikingly similar circumstances, a Courant investigation has found. They died pinned down on the floor by hospital aides until the breath of life was crushed from their lungs. They died strapped to beds and chairs with thick leather belts, ignored until they strangled or their hearts gave out. Those who died were disproportionately young. They entered our health care system as troubled children. They left in coffins. All of them died at the hands of those who are supposed to protect, in places intended to give sanctuary. (�) �It�s going on all around the country,� said Dr. Jack Zusman, a psychiatrist and author of a book on restraint policy. The nationwide trail of death leads from a 6-year-old boy in California to a 45-year-old mother of four in Utah, from a private treatment center in the deserts of Arizona to a public psychiatric hospital in the pastures of Wisconsin. In some cases, patients died in ways and for reasons that defy common sense: a towel wrapped around the mouth of a 16-year-old boy; a 15-year-old girl wrestled to the ground after she wouldn�t give up a family photograph.�Many of the actions would land a parent in jail, yet staffers and facilities were rarely punished. �I raised my child for 17 years and I never had to restrain her, so I don�t know what gave them the right to do it,� said Barbara Young, whose daughter Kelly died in the Brisbane Child Treatment Center in New Jersey. The pattern revealed by The Courant has gone either unobserved or willfully ignored by regulators, by health officials, by the legal system. (�) The facility where Roshelle Clayborne died insists her death had nothing to do with the restraint. Officials there say it was a heart condition that killed the 16-year-old on Aug. 18, 1997. Bexar County Medical Examiner Vincent DiMaio ruled that Clayborne died of natural causes, saying that restraint use was a separate �clinical issue.� But that, too, is typical in restraint cases. Medical examiners rarely connect the circumstances of the restraint to the physical cause of death, making these cases impossible to track through death certificates. The explanations don�t wash with Clayborne�s grandmother. �I�ll picture her lying on that floor until the day I die,� Charlene Miles said. �Roshelle had her share of problems, but good God, no one deserves to die like that.� With nobody tracking, nobody telling, nobody watching, the same deadly errors are allowed to occur again and again. (�)��As a nation we get all up in arms reading about human rights issues on the other side of the world, but there are some basic human rights issues that need attention right here at our back door,� said Jean Allen, the adoptive mother of Tristan Sovern, a North Carolina teen who died after aides wrapped a towel and bed sheet around his head. (�) Few seemed to care much about Roshelle Clayborne at Laurel Ridge, where she was known as a �hell raiser.� But Clayborne had made one close friendship � with her roommate, Lisa Allen. Allen remembers showing Clayborne how to throw a football during afternoon recess on that summer afternoon in 1997. �She just couldn�t seem to get it right and she was getting more and more frustrated. But I told her it was OK, we�d try again tomorrow,� said Allen, who has since rejoined her family in Indiana. Within three hours, Clayborne was dead. She had attacked staff members with pencils. And staffers had a routine for hell raisers. �This is the way we do it with Roshelle,� a worker later told state regulators. �Boom, boom, boom: [medications] and restraints and seclusion.� After she was restrained, Roshelle Clayborne lay in her own waste and vomit for five minutes before anyone noticed she hadn�t moved. Three staffers tried in vain to find a pulse. Two went looking for a ventilation mask and oxygen bag, emergency equipment they never found. During all this time, no one started CPR. �It wouldn�t have worked anyway,� Vanessa Lewis, the licensed vocational nurse on duty, later declared to state regulators. By the time a registered nurse arrived and began CPR, it was too late. Clayborne never revived. In their final report on Clayborne�s death, Texas state regulators cited Laurel Ridge for five serious violations and found staff failed to protect her health and safety during the restraint. They recommended Laurel Ridge be closed. Instead, the state placed Laurel Ridge on a one-year probation in February and the center remains open for business. In a prepared statement, Laurel Ridge said it has complied with the state�s concerns � and it pointed out the difficulty in treating someone with Clayborne�s background. �Roshelle Clayborne, a ward of the state, had a very troubled and extensive psychiatric history, which is why Laurel Ridge was chosen to treat her,� the statement said. �Roshelle�s death was a tragic event and we empathize with the family.� With no criminal prosecution and little regulatory action, the Clayborne family is now suing in civil court. The Austin chapter of the NAACP and the private watchdog group Citizens Human Rights Commission of Texas are asking for a federal civil rights investigation into the death of Clayborne. Medications and restraint and seclusion. Clayborne�s friend, Lisa Allen, knew the routine well, too. For six years, Allen, now 18, lived in mental health facilities in Indiana and Texas, where her explosive personality would often boil over and land her in trouble. By her own estimate, Allen was restrained �thousands� of times and she bears the scars to prove it: a mark on her knee from a rug burn when she was restrained on a carpet; the loss of part of a birthmark on her forehead when she was slammed against a concrete wall. Exactly two weeks after Roshelle Clayborne�s death, Lisa Allen found herself in the same position as her friend. The same aide had pinned her arms across her chest. Thorazine was pumped into her system. She was deposited in the seclusion room. �It felt like my lungs were being squished together,� Allen said. But Lisa Allen was one of the lucky ones. She survived. Hartford Courant. October 11th 1998.

She defied him; the dispute escalated. And for that, Edith Campos died. She was crushed face down on the floor in a �therapeutic hold� applied by a man twice her size. Shy and well-behaved as a girl growing up in Southern California, Edith had problems as a teen. She ran away, took drugs, hung with the wrong crowd. Her family hoped treatment at the Desert Hills psychiatric center in Tucson, Ariz., would help. But Edith Campos died � as did Andrew McClain and Roshelle Clayborne and countless others � when a trivial transgression spiraled into violence. Too often, it�s a reaction built right into our system that cares for people with psychiatric problems and mental retardation. (�) �I can�t understand why patients don�t die more often with all the things that happen on a daily basis,� said Wesley B. Crenshaw, a psychologist who has conducted one of the few national surveys on restraint use. �You have people who are �cowboying� it,� Crenshaw said, �people who really want to get in there and show they�re the boss.� (�) In the Edith Campos case, aide Daniel Thomas Walsh successfully fought negligent homicide charges by arguing he had followed hospital guidelines. And the guidelines didn�t say he needed to watch Edith�s face for signs of distress, the judge found. �It was a tragedy that this girl died in our care,� said Kirke Cooper, director of business development for Desert Hills. �But I don�t feel there was any wrongdoing on the part of our staff. They are all well-trained in physical control and seclusion.� Hartford Courant. October 12th 1998. Why They Die: Little Training, Poor Staffing Put Lives At Risk.: https://www.courant.com/1998/10/12/why-they-die-little-training-poor-staffing-put-lives-at-risk/ [iii] A Courant investigation has found more than 26 percent of restraint-related deaths over the past decade involved patients 17 and under. Yet children make up less than 15 percent of the population in psychiatric and mental retardation facilities, according to federal statistics. The death rate should come as no surprise. �You can�t believe how many times a kid gets slammed into restraints because an argument will ensue after calling a staff member a name,� said Wanda Mohr, director of psychiatric mental health nursing at the University of Pennsylvania. She and other analysts say children disproportionately bear the brunt of the misuse and overuse of restraints. A 1995 New York study, for instance, found children almost twice as likely as adults to be restrained. �It�s socially acceptable to spank and punish children,� said Mohr, reflecting the responses of other experts who say our culture tolerates a physical response to unruly children. Yet children are both a vulnerable and challenging population. Firm diagnoses often cannot be made until late adolescence or early adulthood, so providers are less sure how to treat children. And many troubled children enter the mental health system with histories of physical or sexual abuse � so even the threat of physical force can be traumatizing. For their part, many patients say improper or frequent use of restraints hurts their recovery and defeats the very reason they were admitted. In interviews with more than a dozen children and adults, The Courant�s investigation found these patients were left confused, angry and afraid. They rarely felt better. Researchers are finding the same. In a 1994 New York study, 94 percent of patients restrained or placed in seclusion had at least one complaint about the process. Half complained of unnecessary force, 40 percent cited psychological abuse. In a study published this year, Mohr interviewed children after their hospital stays and found many were further traumatized when they were restrained or secluded � or even watching others undergo the procedure. Usually, she found, children saw such treatment as punishment. The leader of the nation�s psychiatric association acknowledged the problem. �It must be especially frightening for a child,� said Dr. Rod Munoz, president of the American Psychiatric Association. �It�s a struggle of wills where the most powerful win.� And troubled children are the ones who lose. Elaina Huckin, 17, of Granby, Conn., is still so disturbed by a restraint five years ago that she can barely speak about it. She was put in a �body bag,� a sort of neck-to-toe straitjacket. �They tie you in it. They pull it tighter and tighter. I couldn�t move to breathe,� Huckin said. �I was screaming and pleading, �Somebody, please, somebody take me out.�� �It made you so much more suicidal,� she said. Hartford Courant. October 12th 1998. Why They Die: Little Training, Poor Staffing Put Lives At Risk.: https://www.courant.com/1998/10/12/why-they-die-little-training-poor-staffing-put-lives-at-risk/ [iv] Had Gloria Huntley been able to move, had she not been bound to her bed with leather straps for days on end, perhaps she would have tried to draw the attention of the inspectors who were conducting a three-day tour of Central State Hospital. Had she been able to move, had she not been pinned down by the wrists and ankles, she might have held up a sign, as she had done before when a visitor came through Ward 7. Her handwritten plea was simple: �Pray for me. I�m dying.� But the inspection team from the nation�s leading accreditation agency never noticed Gloria Huntley before leaving the Petersburg, Va., psychiatric hospital. The three inspectors from the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations issued Central State a glowing report card � 92 out of 100 points. They also bestowed the commission�s highest ranking for patients� rights and care when they concluded their review on June 28, 1996. The next day, Gloria Huntley died. She was 31. Her heart, fatally weakened by the constant use of restraints, had inflamed to 1 1/2 times its normal size. In her last two months, she�d been restrained 558 hours � the equivalent of 23 full days. Nine months later, the Joint Commission gave Central State an even better score in a follow-up review � even though Huntley�s treatment would ultimately be labeled �inhumane� by the state of Virginia and condemned by the U.S. Justice Department. �How could JCAHO give Central State the highest rating in human rights when they were killing people?� asked Val Marsh, director of the Virginia Alliance for the Mentally Ill. The way the country�s health care system works, how could it not? The Courant�s nationwide investigation of restraint-related deaths underscores just how faulty � how rife with conflicts of interest, how self-protective, how ultimately ineffective � the system of industry oversight and government regulation really is. The health care industry is left to police itself, but often doesn�t. Time and again, The Courant found, when it comes to the quality and safety of patient care, the interests of the industry far outweigh the public interest. �One reason you have overuse and misuse of restraints is because oversight is practically nonexistent,� said Dr. E. Fuller Torrey, a nationally prominent psychiatrist and author of several books critical of the nation�s mental health system. �And the health industry doesn�t want oversight.� The chain of agencies, boards and advocates that is supposed to provide oversight � the kind of oversight that might have prevented Huntley�s death and hundreds like it � often breaks down in multiple places. But the heavy reliance on the Joint Commission � an industry group that acts as the nation�s de facto regulator � lies at the core of the problem. The federal government relies on the private nonprofit agency�s seal of approval for a psychiatric hospital�s acceptance into Medicare and Medicaid programs. And 43 states, including Connecticut, accept it as meeting most or all of its licensing requirements. But the Joint Commission doesn�t answer to Congress or the public. It answers to the health care industry. The Joint Commission was founded in 1951 by hospital and medical organizations, whose members still dominate the commission�s board of directors. The commission is funded by the same hospitals it inspects. How tough are its inspections? Of the more than 5,000 general and psychiatric hospitals that the Joint Commission inspected between 1995 and 1997, none lost its accreditation as a result of the agency�s regular inspections. None. When extraordinary circumstances arise � a questionable death, for instance � the Joint Commission may conduct additional inspections. Even then, less than 1 percent of facilities overall lost accreditation. Central State was not among them. Joint Commission officials are the first to say they are not regulators. Participation is voluntary, and 83 percent of hospitals inspected were found to have shortcomings that needed to be addressed. �Joint Commission accreditation is intended to say to the patient: This is a place that does things well and is constantly working to improve things,� said Dr. Paul M. Schyve, a psychiatrist and senior vice president of the Joint Commission. If the industry is not adequately watching itself, neither is the government. The nation�s top mental health official says he has little latitude when it comes to tougher regulation and oversight. �Most rules governing health care have been left to the states,� said Dr. Bernard S. Arons, director of the U.S. Center for Mental Health Services. When it comes to mental retardation facilities, in fact, inspection is left largely to the states. But their record is not much better. The General Accounting Office, the investigative arm of Congress, has found that state regulators are loath to punish state-run facilities. In a study of state mental retardation centers, the GAO found �instances in which state surveyors were pressured by officials in their own and in other state agencies to overlook problems or downplay the seriousness of deficient care in large state institutions.� When state regulators do show up, their inspections are scheduled with such predictability that facilities can beef up staff, improve services and even apply fresh coats of paint. Often, only the new paint remains after the inspectors leave. �These visits provide only a snapshot,� said William J. Scanlon, director of health care studies for the GAO. �And it may be a doctored snapshot.� It is only when the system utterly collapses, as in the Gloria Huntley case, that the federal government intervenes to set rules for patient care. Justice Department abuse investigators, who have authority to intercede when civil rights violations are suspected in publicly run facilities, often find these same facilities were recently given clean bills of health by licensing agencies or the Joint Commission. �The use of restraints is clearly a very big problem and a very significant issue in nearly all of the institutions we investigate,� said Robinsue Froehboese, the top abuse investigator at the Justice Department. But with a staff of 22 attorneys, Froehboese�s office can undertake only a handful of major investigations each year. �Nineteenth-century England had a better oversight system than we have now,� said Torrey, describing an English system that used full-time government inspectors to check every psychiatric facility without prior notice. At Central State, the warning signs should have been apparent. But Joint Commission inspectors review just a sampling of patient records � a sampling that may not include problem cases like Gloria Huntley�s. Anyone who did look at Huntley�s records would have known her health was failing � and that heavy use of restraints was a primary reason. Two years before Huntley�s death, a doctor warned officials at Central State that she would die if they didn�t change her restraint plan. �Staff members should watch their conscience, and those in charge must always remember that following physical struggle and emotional strain, the patient may die in restraints,� stated the ominously titled �duty to warn� letter. Even if the Joint Commission inspectors had missed Huntley in particular, there were other cases at Central State that should have raised red flags. One patient was restrained for 1,727 hours over an eight-month period, yet another for 720 hours over a four-month period, according to a U.S. Justice Department report. So, in many respects, the investigation into Huntley�s death is most remarkable in that it happened at all. When she died on June 29, 1996, the police were never called. It took a hospital employee�s anonymous call to a citizens watchdog group, days after Huntley�s death, to tip off the outside world that she died while being restrained � and not in her sleep as hospital officials told family members. The Courant�s investigation found at least six cases in which facilities, wary of lawsuits and negative publicity, tried to cover up or obscure the circumstances of a restraint-related death.�It�s sort of a secretive thing,� said Dr. Rod Munoz, president of the American Psychiatric Association. �Every hospital tries to protect itself.� �The incentive is to settle with the family, fix it internally and move on,� said Dr. Thomas Garthwaite, deputy undersecretary of health for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. (�) With the industry failing to monitor itself, with government regulators unwilling to challenge the industry, uncovering abuse is left to �protection and advocacy� agencies established by Congress in each state. (�)�Desperate for help, Gloria Huntley turned to one of these organizations in her last months of life. Not only was her complaint not investigated, but three weeks after her death Huntley was sent a letter saying the advocacy agency was dropping her case because it hadn�t heard from her in 90 days. The letter ends: �It was a pleasure working with you to resolve your complaint. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors�� Hartford Courant. October 13th 1998. �Pray For Me. I�m Dying.� https://www.courant.com/1998/10/13/pray-for-me-im-dying/ [v] An accessory is someone who aided or contributed to the commission or concealment of a�crime. There are two categories of accessories:�accessory before-the-fact�and�accessory after-the-fact. Unlike an�accomplice, an accessory does not need to have been actually or�constructively�present during the commission or concealment of the crime.� Accessory before-the-fact An accessory before-the-fact is someone who did anything to encourage, aid, or assist in any material manner in the commission of a crime, thereby participating in the design of the crime. See�Johnson v. State, 290 So. 3d 1232 (Miss. 2020). The basic�elements�the government must demonstrate to prove that a defendant was an accessory before-the-fact are: (1) someone committed the underlying crime; (2) the defendant advised and agreed, urged the parties, or in some way aided them to commit the offense; and (3) the defendant was not present when the offense was committed. See�Evans v. State, 145 So. 3d 674 (Miss. 2014). The amount of assistance provided is irrelevant, and may also be provided indirectly through a third party. The aid or counsel may be far removed in time from the commission of the crime, although it must be shown to have retained some relationship by causing, encouraging, or assisting the offense. An accessory before-the-fact is as liable as a�principal�actor and may be�indicted�without regard to whether the principal has been convicted. One can be indicted as an accessory before-the-fact even if the accessory does not have the capability to perform the crime. The primary distinction between an �accessory before-the-fact� and an �aider and abettor� is the actual or constructive presence of the party. If the�defendant�was actually or constructively present at the offense because of their participation, they are an �aider and abettor.� However, if the defendant was not present, they are an �accessory before-the-fact.� Accessory after-the-fact An�accessory after-the-fact�is someone who, knowing a crime was committed, receives, relieves, comforts, or assists the offender or in any manner aids them to escape arrest or punishment. See:�U.S. v. Triplett, 92 F.2d 1174 (5th Cir. 1991).�The aid provided by the defendant to the principal must be given after the principal completes the crime.� The basic elements the government must demonstrate to prove that a defendant was an accessory after-the-fact are: (1) the commission of an underlying crime against the United States; (2) the defendant�s�knowledge�of that offense; and (3) assistance by the defendant in order to prevent the apprehension, trial, or punishment of the offender. See:�Ellis v. U.S., 806 F. Supp. 2d 538 (E.D. N.Y. 2011). It is not required for the government to prove that the defendant acted�willfully�and with�specific intent�to commit the original crime; rather, to convict someone of being an accessory after-the-fact, the government must prove that the defendant had knowledge of the original crime and acted with this knowledge when assisting the principal. If the crime charged is murder and the defendant aided the offender prior to the victim�s death and after the victim�s wound, the defendant cannot be convicted as an accessory after-the-fact to murder. A defendant may not be convicted of both a crime and of being an accessory after the fact to the same crime. Except as otherwise expressly provided by a Congressional Act, an accessory after-the-fact cannot be imprisoned for more than one-half the maximum term of imprisonment nor fined more than one-half the maximum fine prescribed for the punishment of the principal. If the principal is punishable by life imprisonment or death, the accessory must not be imprisoned for more than 15 years. See:�18 U.S.C. � 3.

I am writing this lettter to�ORCID�because it has recently come to my attention that my�ORCID�account is being filtered and distorted on the Bing/MSN Internet Search Engine (ISE). Indeed, I do regret to inform you that my�ORCID�account has been filtered and distorted in a manner, which suggests that I'm currently employed for the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH) and that I have never published any journal articles about the applicability of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in cases of suicides after a documented incident of sexual assault.� However, both these things that have been said about me and, which are currently appearing on the Bing/MSN Internet Search Engine are not true. In other words, I'm a former employee of the MODMH who has published journal articles about the applicability of HIPAA in cases of suicides after a documented incident of sexual assault after I learned about the August 04th 2020 suicide of Catherine Daisy Coleman. I have also published a journal article about Jessica Alba 2023 public admission that she was previously referred to as "delusional"�and "paranoid."� My interpretation of HIPAA when I was employed for the MODMH was that it enables healthcare employees to express written objections to medical treatment that can be objectively considered as "racist,"�and/or "sexist."�Even though I no longer work for the MODMH, I still maintain that HIPAA enables current and/or former healthcare workers to express written objections to medical treatment that can be objectively considered as "racist"�and/or "sexist."�In the journal articles I have published, which I have then gone on to add to my�ORCID�account, I have said this. The questions I was hoping�ORCID�would address are as follows.� 1) Is there anything�ORCID�can do to prevent the Bing/MSN ISE from spreading falsehoods about me? As previously noted, I'm not currently employed for the MODMH and yet, the Bing/MSN ISE is saying this about me. Furthermore, I have published journal articles about HIPAA as a former Missouri healthcare employee, and I have added those journal articles to my�ORCID�account, and yet, the Bing/MSN ISE is saying that I have never published journal articles related to HIPAA.� 2) According to a December 27th 2023 complaint filed by the New York Times, "ChatGPT defines a �hallucination� as the �phenomenon of a machine, such as a chatbot, generating seemingly realistic sensory experiences that do not correspond to any real-world input.� Instead of saying, �I don�t know,� Microsoft and OpenAI GPT models will confidently provide information that is, at best, not quite accurate, and, at worst, demonstrably (but not recognizably) false. And human reviewers find it very difficult to distinguish �hallucinations� from truthful output. These �hallucinations� mislead users as to the source of the information they are obtaining, leading them to incorrectly believe that the information provided has been vetted and published by the NYT. Users who ask a search engine what the NYT has written on a subject should be provided with neither an unauthorized copy nor an inaccurate forgery of a NYT article, but a link to the article itself."��Given the statements made by the NYT, is there anything you can do to prevent what has happened to articles published by the NYT and those published by me from happening again particularly if they have been added to�ORCID?� I look forward to your response on these important matters.� Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W� Anti-Racist Human Rights Activist� Audio-Visual Media Analyst Anti-Propaganda Journalist Email Sent by ORCID to Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W on (or around) April 29th 2025 Hi Michael � We don't have any control over what is displayed on the search engines such as Bing. Assuming all the information within your�ORCID�record is correct my advice would be to raise a concern with Microsoft directly via�https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/concern/bing� � We try to make people aware of how�ORCID�can be used as a "Trust marker" for scientifc research which you can read more of here�https://info.orcid.org/interpreting-the-trustworthiness-of-an-orcid-record/�however as mentioned we have no control over the way search engines display the information they have indexed from�ORCID. � Thanks Kind regards, Matt Stockman Support Manager https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8622-8273 [vii] Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W was very much concerned upon learning about the August 4th 2020 suicide of Catherine Daisy Coleman because he was in Calendar Year 2013 a public employee of the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH) Fulton State Hospital (FSH). As a former employee of the MODMH (FSH), it remains unclear to Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W whether or not his former employers (and their contractual partners) acknowledge as a matter of reality the fact that sexual assault is a factor increasing the risk of suicide. It also remains unclear to Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W if the Personal Health Information (PHI) of Catherine Daisy Coleman reflected this risk. Via email, the MODMH have refused to deny that Catherine Daisy Coleman was a patient of Missouri Girls Town following the January 8th 2012 sexual assault she was a victim of (only confirming that Missouri Girls Town is indeed a contractual partner of the MODMH). The terms and conditions of the contractual agreements concluded between the MODMH and Missouri Girls Town recognize that Missouri Girls Town is a �time-limited placement resource for children requiring active coordinated and professional intervention in a highly structured environment by virtue of a demonstrated inability to function in any less restrictive setting. Children requiring residential treatment services exhibit a severe mental illness and/or persistent mental disorder as diagnosed according to the DSM-IV. These children may be unable to function consistently in an open, public school setting, may present a chronic runaway risk, and may present a history of showing rage, including physical aggression toward self and others.� It is the judgment of Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W that the provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) enable current and former healthcare workers to express written objections to a specific course of medical treatment a patient is subjected to if the current or former healthcare worker believes the treatment to be discriminatory and/or racist and/or sexist in nature. It is also the judgment of Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W that the inconsistent legislative actions taken (in the State of California and the State of Missouri) following the suicides of Audrie Taylor Pott and Catherine Daisy Coleman merited discussions on the subject of �sexual assault as a factor increasing the risk of suicide� (particularly) among current and former healthcare workers. According to public records of the California state government, �Senate Bill 838 is the direct result of the tragic death of Audrie Pott, a 15-year-old Saratoga High student who committed suicide after she was sexually assaulted while unconscious and photos of her were disseminated electronically.� To the extent of Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W�s knowledge, the first time the United States government recognized on a state level the fact that sexual assault is a factor increasing the risk of suicide was through the enactment of Audrie�s Law. As you may be aware, the California government has for a second time explicitly and formally recognized sexual assault as a factor increasing the risk of suicide when enacting into law the Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act on (or around) September 19th 2022. Indeed, the provisions of California�s Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act (seem to) implicitly refer to the sexual assaults of Catherine Daisy Coleman and Audrie Taylor Pott as well as other girls and women by recognizing that [1] one out of every six American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime; [2] only about 300 out of every 1,000 sexual assaults are reported to police; [3] thirty-three percent of women who are raped contemplate suicide; [4] thirteen percent of women who are raped attempt suicide; [5] a 2016 analysis of 28 studies of nearly 6,000 women and girls 14 years of age or older who had experienced sexual violence found that 60 percent of survivors did not label their experience as �rape;� [6] women may not define a victimization as a rape or sexual assault for many reasons such as self-blame, embarrassment, not clearly understanding the legal definition of the terms, or not wanting to define someone they know who victimized them as a rapist or because others blame them for their sexual assault; [7] it is self-evident that the unique nature of the emotional and psychological consequences of sexual assault, especially on women, can paradoxically permit wrongdoers to escape civil accountability unless statutes of limitations are crafted to prevent this injustice from occurring; [8] it is self-evident that statutes of limitations for sexual assault need to be crafted in a way that does not cause the covering-up company to enjoy the fruits of their cover-up solely because our statutes of limitations permit, and thus motivate such behavior. As a matter of principle, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W unequivocally condemns violence committed against girls and/or women irrespective of their racial backgrounds, their sexual orientations, their national origins, their religious affiliations, their disability status and/or their age group. Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W also condemns malicious efforts designed to place girls and/or women in circumstances encouraging the commission of suicide after a documented incident of sexual violence. Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W is vexed by the very bizarre frenzy that has surrounded his written publications on American government public records related to [1] the highly publicized January 08th 2012 sexual assault Catherine Daisy Coleman was victim of in Nodaway County, Missouri (in the City of Maryville) when she was only fourteen years of age; [2] the attempted suicides of Catherine Daisy Coleman following the sexual assault she was the victim of on (or around) January 08th 2012 in Nodaway County, Missouri (in the City of Maryville); [3] Catherine Daisy Coleman reported stay at Missouri Girls Town following the very publicized sexual assault she was the victim of on (or around) January 8th 2012 in Nodaway County, Missouri (in the City of Maryville); [4] the terms and conditions of the contractual agreements concluded between Missouri Girls Town and the Missouri Department of Mental Health; [5] the very lenient criminal charges filed by the State of Missouri on behalf of Catherine Daisy Coleman on (or around) January 09th 2014: exactly two years after the sexual assault she was subjected to on (or around) January 08th 2012; [6] the decision of the California government to recognize that one out of every six American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime; [7] the decision of the California government to recognize that only about 300 out of every 1,000 sexual assaults are reported to police;�[8] the decision of the California government to recognize that thirty-three percent of women who are raped contemplate suicide; [9] the decision of the California government to recognize that thirteen percent of women who are raped attempt suicide; [10] the decision of the California government to recognize that a 2016 analysis of 28 studies of nearly 6,000 women and girls 14 years of age or older who had experienced sexual violence found that 60 percent of survivors did not label their experience as �rape;� [11] the decision of the California government to recognize that women may not define a victimization as a rape or sexual assault for many reasons such as self-blame, embarrassment, not clearly understanding the legal definition of the terms, or not wanting to define someone they know who victimized them as a rapist or because others blame them for their sexual assault; [12] the decision of the California government to recognize that it is self-evident that the unique nature of the emotional and psychological consequences of sexual assault, especially on women, can paradoxically permit wrongdoers to escape civil accountability unless statutes of limitations are crafted to prevent this injustice from occurring; [13] the decision of the California government to recognize that it is self-evident that statutes of limitations for sexual assault need to be crafted in a way that does not cause the covering-up company to enjoy the fruits of their cover-up solely because our statutes of limitations permit, and thus motivate such behavior. Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W would like to take this opportunity to reiterate that he has never sought nor solicited nor ever contacted anyone to have his written content listed and featured prominently on Internet search engines such as AOL, Bing, MSN and Yahoo. Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W would also like to take this opportunity to reiterate that he was very much annoyed upon uncovering many instances where his written publications were filtered and distorted. At the time Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W began to publish some of his written content on the applicability of the HIPAA in cases of suicides after a documented incident of sexual assault, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W had not signed any binding agreement that subjected his written content on the Internet Archive 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 Internet Archive 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 the Internet Archive while the so-called �web� took on the role of �Judge, Jury and Executioner.� More importantly, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W had begun to publish some of his correspondence with agents of the United States government on the applicability of HIPAA in cases of suicides brought on after a documented incident of sexual assault because of a commitment he had made that he would disseminate any and all responsive United States 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, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) 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 leading up to the August 04th 2020 suicide of Catherine Daisy Coleman. The key questions Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W is asking on matters pertaining to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Catherine Daisy Coleman August 04th 2020 suicide are the following ones: 1) Have the healthcare service providers Catherine Daisy Coleman dealt with after she was sexually assaulted on (or around) January 08th 2012 formally recognized sexual assault as a factor increasing the risk of suicide? 2) Have the healthcare service providers Catherine Daisy Coleman dealt with after she was sexually assaulted on (or around) January 08th 2012 made a note on her personal health information (PHI) formally recognizing that sexual assault is a factor increasing the risk of suicide? 3) If there was genuinely no chauvinism and no misogyny and no sexism at play in the healthcare services Catherine Daisy Coleman received after January 08th 2012, why not provide the PHI of Catherine Daisy Coleman to Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W: a former Missouri healthcare worker who�s listed as such on Missouri�s Accountability Portal? 4) If there was genuinely no chauvinism and no misogyny and no sexism at play in the healthcare services Catherine Daisy Coleman received after January 08th 2012, why does Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W not have access to Catherine Daisy Coleman PHI that relate to her dealings with the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH) as well as Missouri�s Girls Town? 5) If there was genuinely no chauvinism and no misogyny and no sexism at play in the healthcare services Catherine Daisy Coleman received after January 08th 2012, why not provide to Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W the portions of Catherine Daisy Coleman PHI that recognized sexual abuse as a factor increasing the risk of suicide? 6) If there was genuinely no chauvinism and no misogyny and no sexism at play in the healthcare services Catherine Daisy Coleman received after January 08th 2012, why not provide to Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W the portions of Catherine Daisy Coleman PHI that explicitly referred her to resources and organizations whose mission is to be supportive of sexual abuse victims contemplating suicide? 7) If there was genuinely no chauvinism and no misogyny and no sexism at play in the healthcare services Catherine Daisy Coleman received after January 08th 2012, why not provide to Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W records attesting to the institutional support Catherine Daisy Coleman received by resources and organizations whose mission is to be supportive of sexual assault/rape victims contemplating suicide? 8) Why has the State of Missouri not enacted a Catherine�s Law similar to Audrie�s Law for the purpose of formally recognizing sexual abuse as a factor increasing the risk of suicide among girls and women? 9) Has the State of Missouri not enacted a Catherine�s Law similar to Audrie�s Law because Catherine Daisy Coleman was not on (or around) January 08th 2012 sexually assaulted by a(n) Black / African American man? 10) Would the State of Missouri have been properly motivated to enact a Catherine�s Law similar to Audrie�s Law if Catherine Daisy Coleman had on (or around) January 08th 2012 been raped by a(n) Black / African American man?	1/8/2026	1/15/2026	Denied

Ayele (a.k.a) W as a former employee of the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH) Fulton State Hospital (FSH) who has earned approximately (i) $19,189.

Ayele (a.k.a) W (i) was on (or around) December 20th 2013 informed that he would receive a one-time lump sum payment for the work he did at the MODMH (FSH) upon the return of his Missouri government issued badge and uniform; (ii) returned his Missouri state government issued badge and uniform on December 20th 2013 and December 23rd 2013 (respectively) for the purpose of receiving the one-time lump sum payment that was promised to him on December 20th 2013; (iii) was not provided the one-time lump sum payment that was promised to him on December 23rd 2013 even though he had returned his Missouri state government issued badge and uniform; (iv) was very much displeased on (or around) December 23rd 2013 upon learning that he would not receive the one-time lump sum payment he was promised even though he had returned his Missouri state government issued badge and uniform; (v) made numerous telephone calls between December 24th 2013 and December 30th 2013 to the MODMH (FSH) for the purpose of receiving the one-time lump sum payment that was owed to him; (vi) telephone calls to the MODMH (FSH) between December 24th 2013 and December 30th 2013 were either ignored or sent to voicemail; (vii) went to the MODMH (FSH) in person on (or around) December 30th 2013 for the purpose of demanding that he be paid the one-time lump sum payment that was promised to him on (or around) December 30th 2013; (viii) was arrested for the first time in his life on (or around) December 30th 2013 for demanding that he be compensated with the one-time lump sum payment that was promised to him on December 20th 2013; (ix) was arrested for the first time in his life on (or around) December 30th 2013 for demanding that he be provided with the entirety of his employment file at the MODMH (FSH); [4] American courts have in the past recognized in (i) Sibron v.

Maryland that �the suppression by the prosecution of evidence favorable to an accused violates due process where the evidence is material either to guilt or punishment, irrespective of the good faith or bad faith of the prosecution.� If truth be told, the facts presented in this request for a fee waiver and expedited processing will not bolster public confidence in the circumstances that led to Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W�s December 30th 2013 arrest at the Fulton State Hospital (FSH) (in Fulton, Missouri) because it (the arrest) was done without probable cause. Indeed, (as you may be aware,) Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W was on (or around) December 20th 2013 hand-delivered a letter informing him that he would be �dismissed from his employment� at the FSH, and that in order to get his �last paycheck,� he needed to return his badge and his uniform. Upon reading the December 20th 2013 letter hand-delivered to him, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W immediately turned in his badge. However, because December 21st 2013 and December 22nd 2013 fell on a Saturday and Sunday (respectively), Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W was unable to return his Missouri state government issued uniforms until December 23rd 2013 (which fell on a Monday). Nonetheless, on Monday, December 23rd 2013, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W drove from his home to the FSH to return his uniforms. At the time Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W returned his uniforms on December 23rd 2013, he had presented to personnel of the FSH the letter he was hand-delivered on December 20th 2013 informing him that he would get the one-time lump sum payment he was owed for the work he performed upon the return of his badge and uniform, but unfortunately, he was not provided with the one-time lump sum payment that was promised to him in writing. When this happened, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W began verbally inquiring with urgency (on December 23rd 2013) as to when he would get the �final paycheck� that was promised to him (in writing) on December 20th 2013, but he got no straightforward answers (from the FSH personnel that took his uniform and gave him a �receipt.�) In other words, despite having complied with the conditions set forth in the December 20th 2013 letter by returning his Missouri state government issued badge and uniforms, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W was not paid the one-time lump sum payment he was explicitly promised on December 23rd 2013. Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W was also not provided with any written explanation, documentation, or lawful justification for the refusal to issue the payment that was owed to him (except the �receipt� confirming that he had returned his uniforms and his badge). Faced with this unfair and very unpleasant situation, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W made (between December 24th 2013 and December 30th 2013) repeated, good-faith attempts to resolve the matter through telephone communications with personnel at the FSH, all of which were ignored or sent to voicemail. On (or around) December 30th 2013, feeling extremely frustrated, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W drove to the FSH in person for the purpose of obtaining [1] the final paycheck he had been promised in writing and [2] access to his employment-related records. Unfortunately, though, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W�s wage and employment dispute was not resolved on December 30th 2013. Rather, personnel of the FSH chose to escalate the situation and caused Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W to be arrested�despite the absence of probable cause, a warrant, or any objectively reasonable basis to believe that he had committed a crime.[iv] The facts presented in this request for a fee waiver and expedited processing will also not bolster public confidence in the case that had been assigned 14CW - CR00084 which ended up pitting the State of Missouri against Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W: a former Missouri state government employee listed as such on Missouri�s Accountability Portal. One of the main reasons this records request will not bolster public confidence in the case that had been assigned 14CW - CR00084 is because Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W had decided to represent himself in that case, and he had filed an Entry of Appearance and requested the prompt disclosure of Discovery. However, before filing his Entry of Appearance and requesting the prompt disclosure of Discovery, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W had held meetings with representatives of the Callaway County Prosecutor�s Office informing them that they should not prosecute the case that had been assigned 14CW - CR00084. Unfortunately, though, the Callaway County Prosecutor�s Office informed Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W (in meetings he had with them) that they will be prosecuting the case that had been assigned 14CW - CR00084. Regardless, after filing his Entry of Appearance and his request for the Production of Document (Discovery), Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W expected that the courts in Missouri would keep him up to date on the status of the case and any future probable cause hearing (either through email or postal correspondence or telephone) particularly given that he was proceeding pro-se (and that he didn�t go to law school and that he only attended a few pre-law classes in college). However, this didn�t happen. In other words, there was no probable cause hearing that was held for the case that had been assigned 14CW - CR00084. Moreover, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W was informed that if he wished to get updates on the case that was assigned 14CW - CR00084, he would have to create an account on �Movans:� something he ended up doing. Unhappy with the police brutality (and the retaliatory employment related actions) he experienced on December 30th 2013 (and afterwards), Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W filed cross complaints against the Callaway County Prosecutor�s Office, the judge who was overseeing the case 14CW - CR00084 before permanently leaving the State of Missouri in May 2014. Approximately one year after the ordeal Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W went through in the State of Missouri, the Department of Justice (DOJ) published a report on (or around) March 04th 2015 about police and court practices in Missouri explaining how Missouri police officers �frequently do not report the force they use at all.� In circumstances where force is reported, �the force review process falls so short of policy requirements that it is ineffective at improving officer safety or ensuring that force is used properly.� According to the DOJ, Missouri�s municipal court practices �cause significant harm to many individuals who have cases pending before the court� because of �the court�s routine use of arrest warrants to secure collection and compliance when a person misses a required court appearance or payment. �In a case involving a moving violation, procedural failures also result in the suspension of the defendant�s license.��Apparently, between 2012 and 2015, Missouri courts (in the City of Ferguson) had imposed �roughly one Failure to Appear charge per every two citations or summonses issued by the Ferguson Police Department. �Since at least 2010, the court has collected more revenue for Failure to Appear charges than for any other charge. This includes $442,901 (four hundred forty-two thousand nine hundred and one American dollars) in fines for Failure to Appear violation in 2013, which comprised 24% of the total revenue the court collected that year. While the City Council repealed the Failure to Appear ordinance in September 2014, many people continue to owe fines and fees stemming from that charge. And the court continues to issue arrest warrants in every case where that charge previously would have been applied. License suspension practices are similarly unchanged. Once issued, arrest warrants can, and frequently do, lead to arrest and time in jail, despite the fact that the underlying offense did not result in a penalty of imprisonment. Thus, while the municipal court does not generally deem the code violations that come before it as jail-worthy, it routinely views the failure to appear in court to remit payment to the City as jail-worthy, and commonly issues warrants to arrest individuals who have failed to make timely payment.� [v] More recently, (in Calendar Year 2022,) the National Registry of Exoneration has published a report affirming that �race is central to every aspect of criminal justice in the United States. The conviction of innocent defendants is no exception. Thousands of exonerations across dozens of years demonstrate that Black people are far more likely than white people to be convicted of crimes they did not commit. What explains this stark racial disparity? (�) There is no one explanation for the heavy concentration of Black defendants among those convicted of crimes they did not commit. The cases we have identified run from inevitable consequences of patterns in crime and punishment to deliberate acts of racism, with many steps in between. (�) For instance, innocent Black people are almost eight times more likely than white people to be falsely convicted of rape. A prisoner serving time for sexual assault is more than three times more likely to be innocent if he is Black than if he is white. (�) The major cause of this huge racial disparity is the high danger of misidentification of Black suspects by white victims of violent crimes. (�) Assaults on white women by Black men are a small minority of all sexual assaults in the United States, but nearly half of sexual assaults with eyewitness misidentifications that led to exoneration. (�) Eyewitness misidentifications do not completely explain the racial disparity in rape exonerations. Some of the misidentifications were obtained by deliberately tainted identification procedures, and Black men are also overrepresented in rape exonerations without misidentifications. (�) A substantial number of the convictions that led to rape exonerations of Black defendants were marred by implicit biases, racially tainted official misconduct and, in some cases, explicit racism. (�) Black sexual assault exonerees received much longer prison sentences than white sexual assault exonerees, and spent, on average, more than four years longer in prison before exoneration.�[vi]��������� The public has a compelling and legitimate interest in this information because: 1) The requested records will shed light on whether your local government agency (the City of Ann Arbor, Michigan) is legally obligated to list the name and annual salary of the people it employs. 2) The requested records will shed light on the website used by your local government agency (the City of Ann Arbor, Michigan) to list the name and annual salary of the people it employs. 3) The requested records will shed light on how your local government agency (the City of Ann Arbor, Michigan) ensures the accuracy, consistency, and integrity of employment and payroll information that is later disseminated to the public, including whether errors or omissions are corrected once an individual is no longer employed. 4) The requested records will shed light on whether decisions affecting public reporting of employee information are made pursuant to written policies, discretionary practices, or ad hoc determinations, a distinction that bears directly on transparency and accountability in government administration. 5) The requested records will shed light on the website used by the Missouri state government to list the name and annual salary of the people it employs (and has previously employed). 6) The requested records will shed light on the listing of Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W on Missouri�s Accountability Portal particularly after December 23rd 2013. 7) The requested records will shed light on the police brutality Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W experienced between December 30th 2013 and May 2014 when he was last living in the State of Missouri. 8) The requested records will shed light on the legal precedents your local government agency relies upon to meet the probable cause necessary to justify the arrest of a person. 9) The requested records will shed light on the legal precedents your local government agency relies upon to determine if someone was ever subjected to police brutality. Expedited processing is justified because: 1) According to the National Registry of Exoneration, �race is central to every aspect of criminal justice in the United States.� 2) This records request pertains to instances of governmental misconduct and the exercise of coercive state authority, including arrest and police use of excessive force, matters for which delayed disclosure would only serve to further decrease public confidence. 3) This records request puts into question the government�s integrity about the way that people are treated in the U.S.A on account of their gender, their racial backgrounds, their national origins and their disability status. 4) Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W�s lived experiences in the State of Missouri between December 30th 2013 and May 2014 bear numerous striking parallels with the testimonies that were provided to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for the purpose of their March 04th 2015 report.

Ayele (a.k.a) W has never sought nor ever solicited nor ever contacted anyone to have his written publications listed and featured prominently on the AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo internet search engines (ISE); Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W has uncovered many instances where his written content were filtered, distorted, misused and misattributed. At the time Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W started to publish his key questions on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and 1991, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W had not signed any binding agreement that subjected his correspondence with the United States government to evaluation, examination and unsolicited comments on the AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo internet search engines (ISE). 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 while the AOL, Bing/MSN and Yahoo ISE 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 while the AOL, Bing/MSN and Yahoo ISE�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 the United States government on matters related to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act because of a commitment he had made that he would dissemination any and all responsive records to members of the general public at no financial expense to them. To the best of his ability, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W has fulfilled this commitment by disseminating the most pertinent records in his possession about the charge of employment discrimination that had previously been assigned Case No.: 28E � 2014 � 00485C. Michael Ayele (a.k.a) W was an employee of the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH) Fulton State Hospital (FSH) during the second half of Calendar Year 2013. He has towards the end of Calendar Year 2013 filed a charge of employment discrimination pursuant to Title VII of the 1964 and 1991 Civil Rights Act against the MODMH (FSH). The charge of employment discrimination filed by Michael Ayele (a.k.a) W with the EEOC was previously assigned Case No.: 28E � 2014 � 00485C and has been subject of intense U.S government scrutiny for various reasons. In e-mail conversations he has had with his former employers, Michael Ayele (a.k.a) W has been informed that 9 (nine) charges of employment discrimination were filed against the MODMH between January 01st 2010 and December 17th 2021. Of those, the MODMH opted to engage in the alternative dispute resolution (ADR) program offered by the EEOC on 4 (four) occasions. They also declined to engage in the ADR program offered by the EEOC on 5 (five) occasions. As of this writing, it remains unclear to Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W why the MODMH opted to engage in certain ADR sessions offered by the EEOC while refusing to do so for others. As a matter of principle, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W unequivocally condemns discrimination on the bases of gender, racial background, sexual orientation, national origin, religious affiliation and/or disability status. Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W has effectively put the EEOC on notice that given their processing of Charge No.: 28E � 2014 � 00485C, they have forfeited their rights to legally represent Missouri state employees (in the judicial branch of the U.S government: the courts),�who [1] have opposed discriminatory practices in the service of healthcare pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA); [2] have been subjected to racially motivated internal investigation (and were afterwards cleared of that investigation); [3] have been fired from their jobs as retaliation for opposing discrimination in the service of healthcare; [4] have been arrested for demanding the payment of their salary for the job they have performed. Given the frequent unsavory dealings of Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W strongly advises people who are filing charges of employment discrimination pursuant to Title VII of the 1964 and 1991 Civil Rights Act to ask the following questions to their Fair Employment Practice Agency(ies) (FEPA) and the EEOC. 1) Has my current/former employer previously faced a charge of employment discrimination pursuant to some state and/or federal law? 2) Have the EEOC and/or the FEPA become aware of the charge of employment discrimination my current/previous employer has faced? 3) Were the EEOC and/or the FEPA responsible for the processing of the charge of employment discrimination filed pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Genetics Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act and/or Title VII of the 1964 and 1991 Civil Rights Act against my current/former employer? 4) Have the EEOC and/or the FEPA previously processed a charge of discrimination against my current/former employer that presented similar issues to mine? If yes, what was the outcome of the charge of discrimination that presented similar issues to mine? 5) What were the exact circumstances, which ultimately convinced the EEOC and the FEPA to ask my current/former employer to engage in the ADR program? Why has my current/former employer opted to engage in certain ADR program offered by the EEOC but not others? 6) If the EEOC opts not to legally represent the charge of discrimination (I have filed with them) in the judicial branch of the U.S government (the courts), should I file a Civil Complaint with an EEOC "Right to Sue" letter? Do the EEOC and/or the FEPA have an obligation to make clear to the judicial branch of the U.S government (the courts) that a charge of employment discrimination does not have "less merit" because it doesn't have their backing and/or their recommendation for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to prosecute? Do the EEOC and/or the FEPA have an obligation to make clear to the general public and representatives of the media the specific charges of employment discrimination they will not back and/or recommend for the DOJ not to prosecute?�� [iv] Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W December 30th 2013 Arrest at the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH) Fulton State Hospital (FSH).: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0t_nibmp33Q [v] We have concerns not only about the obstacles to resolving a charge even when an individual chooses not to contest it, but also about the trial processes that apply in the rare occasion that a person does attempt to challenge a charge. While it is �axiomatic that a fair trial in a fair tribunal is a basic requirement of due process,� (�) the adjudicative tribunal provided by the Ferguson, Missouri�s municipal courts appears deficient in many respects. Attempts to raise legal claims are met with retaliatory conduct. In an August 2012 email exchange, for instance, the Court Clerk asked what the Prosecuting Attorney does when an attorney appears in a red light camera case, and the Prosecuting Attorney responded: �I usually dismiss them if the attorney merely requests a recommendation. If the attorney goes off on all of the constitutional stuff, then I tell attorney to come � and argue in front of the judge � after that, his client can pay the ticket.� We have found evidence of similar adverse action taken against litigants attempting to fulsomely argue a case at trial. (�) Even where defendants opt not to challenge their charges, a number of court processes make resolving a case exceedingly difficult. City officials and FPD officers we spoke with nearly uniformly asserted that individuals� experiences when they become embroiled in Missouri�s municipal code enforcement are due (�) to those individuals� lack of �personal responsibility.� But these statements ignore the barriers to resolving a case that court practices impose, including: 1) a lack of transparency regarding rights and responsibilities; 2) requiring in-person appearance to resolve most municipal charges; 3) policies that exacerbate the harms of Missouri�s law requiring license suspension where a person fails to appear on a moving violation charge; 4) basic access deficiencies that frustrate a person�s ability to resolve even those charges that do not require in-court appearance; and 5) legally inadequate fine assessment methods that do not appropriately consider a person�s ability to pay and do not provide alternative to fines for those living in or near poverty. Together, these barriers impose considerable hardship. We have heard repeated reports, and found evidence in court records, of people appearing in court many times � in some instances on more than ten occasions � to try to resolve a case but being unable to do so, and subsequently having additional fines, fees, and arrest warrants issued against them. Department of Justice (DOJ). March 04th 2015. Investigation of the Ferguson, Missouri Police Department.: https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/opa/press-releases/attachments/2015/03/04/ferguson_police_department_report.pdf [vi] Most innocent Black defendants who were exonerated for sexual assault had been convicted of raping white women (128/207). The leading cause of these false convictions was mistaken eyewitness identification (101/128) � a notorious error prone process when white Americans are asked to identify Black strangers. (�)�Nearly 60% of rape exonerations involve Black people, who are the defendants in less than a quarter of rape convictions. (�) Fifty-nine percent of sexual assault exonerees are Black, four-and-a-half times the proportion in the population; 33% are white. That suggests that innocent Black people are almost eight times more likely than white people to be falsely convicted of rape. Unlike murder, these numbers are way out of line with the racial composition of sexual assault convictions. As of the end of 2019, 21% of those serving time in state prisons for sexual assault were Black, 39% were white, and 25% Hispanic. Judging from known erroneous convictions, a prisoner serving time for sexual assault is more than three times more likely to be innocent if he is Black than if he is white. (�) In 44% of all sexual assault exonerations with eyewitness misidentifications, Black men were convicted of raping white women, a racial combination that appears in less than 11% of sexual assaults in the United States. According to surveys of crime victims, about 70% of white sexual assault victims were attacked by white men and only about 13% by Black men. But 52% of sexual assault exonerees with white female victims are Black (129/249), and 43% are white (106/249) � which suggests that Black defendants convicted of raping white women are more than six times more likely to be innocent than white men convicted of raping women of their own race. There are many possible explanations for this disturbing pattern, but the simplest is probably the most powerful: the perils of cross-racial identification. One of the oldest and most consistent findings of systemic studies of eyewitness identification is that white Americans are much more likely to mistake one Black person for another than to mistakenly identify members of their own race. The problem of cross-racial identification in rape prosecutions in America is asymmetrical. It poses a greater risk of misidentification for Black sexual assault defendants than for white defendants, for two reasons. First, a lower proportion of sexual assaults by white perpetrators are cross-racial. Most sexual assault victims are friends, family members or acquaintances of the attackers, who are likely to be of the same race � and if the victim is a stranger, she is likely to be white regardless of the race of the attacker simply because white are the great majority of the population. Second, in experimental studies, white subjects show stronger �own race bias� than Black subjects � they tend to be worse at identifying members of other races. This is not surprising. As members of the majority group, many white Americans have little contact with Black people, but almost all Black people have regular dealing with white people. (�) Eyewitness misidentifications do not occur in a vacuum. Some are the products of misconduct and racial bias. For example: Marvin Anderson was suspected of rape in Virginia because the real rapist told his victims that he �had a white girl,� and Anderson was the only Black man known to the local police who lived with a white woman. Anderson had no criminal record, so an officer showed his color employment identification photo to the victim together with half a dozen black and white mug shots of other men, and asked her to pick the perpetrator. Naturally, she chose Anderson, who spent 15 years in prison before he was exonerated by DNA. Anderson�s false conviction was the product of a tainted identification, a dangerous form of misconduct in which police, directly or (as in this case) indirectly, tell an eyewitness who to pick in a formal identification procedure. Tainted identifications occurred in 10% of the investigations of defendants who were convicted of rape and later exonerated (35/350). That�s about the same rate we saw for murder exonerations (112/1,167), but the process was quite different. (�) In sexual assault exonerations the victims always survive the crimes, by definition, because if a victim is killed, the case becomes a murder. Unlike murder prosecutions, the critical eyewitness in a sexual assault case is almost always the victim. Perhaps for that reason, none of the tainted identifications in sexual assault exonerations include threats by the police. Instead, as in the case of Marvin Anderson�s case, they may draw attention to the person they suspect without saying so. (�) In a third of rape exonerations there were no mistaken eyewitness identifications (117/350). Nonetheless, 45% of the exonerees in those cases are Black � less than the rate for the rape exonerations with misidentifications (69%) but more than twice the proportion of Black people among those imprisoned for rape and about three and a half times their proportion of the population. In three quarters of rape exonerations without misidentifications, no rape was committed (87/117). Most often, the complainants lied and accused the defendants of rape after consensual sex; in a few they said they�d been rape to avoid admitting to consensual sex with someone else; and in a couple of cases the complainants were delusional. In the remaining quarter of these cases, the victims were raped but for one reason or another could not identify the rapists, who were convicted by other means (30/177). In most, (16/30) the conviction depended on a confession from the defendants, or from a co-defendant (guilty or innocent) who implicated the exoneree as well as himself. Some of these confessions were obtained by misconduct in racially tainted investigations. (�) Racism in rape prosecutions can become a self-fulfilling prophecy � and an excuse for misconduct. In some cases, the critical players are defense attorneys, judges or jurors, rather than prosecutors or police officers. (�) In some cases, the presence of racism is unmistakable. (�) In others, the impact of race is a shade less explicit. (�) Of all the problems that plague the American criminal justice, few if any are as incendiary as the relationship between rape and race. From the Reconstruction through the first half of the twentieth century, claims that Black men raped white women triggered countless lynchings, riots and sometimes massacres of Black people. Those horrors have stopped, but the fears and biases that fed them have not disappeared. It should be no surprise that racial bias and outright racism also play a role in wrongful convictions for sexual assault. (�) On average, Black sexual assault exonerees spent more than four years longer in prison than white sexual assault exonerees, 13.5 years compared to 9.4 years. Much of this disparity is caused by a comparatively small number of exonerees who were imprisoned for decades. Thirty five sexual assault exonerees also received harsher sentences than whites: 27% were sentenced to life imprisonment (55/207) compared to 17% for white sexual assault exonerees (20/116); of the rest, 17% of Black rape exonerees were sentenced to 45 years or longer (36/207), compared to 7% of whites (8/116); and the average minimum term for those who were not sentenced to life was 26 years for Black defendants and 18 years for white defendants. These are extremely severe sentences, by any measure, for white and Black sexual assault exonerees alike. In 2000, for example, only 1.6% of all sexual assault defendants convicted in state courts were sentenced to life imprisonment, the average maximum term of incarceration was 7 years, and 16% received probation (as did three of 349 sexual assault exonerees, less than 1%). Part of the explanation is the process that produced these sentences. Eighty-eight percent of sexual assault convictions in state courts in 2000 were based on guilty pleas, almost all pursuant to plea bargains, but 92% of sexual assault exonerees went to trial (321/349). From the look of it, they paid heavily for their day in court � especially the Blacks. Very likely, many innocent defendants who have not been exonerated decided not to take that risk. Our data are limited. We have only sketchy information on racial patterns in sentencing for sexual assault convictions in general, none for those with innocent defendants who were not exonerated, and incomplete data on the details of the crimes and process of obtaining exonerations even for the cases we know best, those that we list in the Registry. We cannot say for sure why so many Black sexual assault exonerees received such extreme sentences, even by comparison to the draconian sentences meted out to white sexual assault defendants who were later exonerated. Differences in criminal history cannot explain the gap: among sexual assault exonerees who had no prior criminal convictions, the only four who received life sentences were Black. The average term for the rest was 24 years for Black exonerees and 11 years for white exonerees. Our best guess is that Black sexual assault defendants who insisted on their innocence and refused to plead guilty were punished more harshly for doing so than innocent white defendants who followed the same course. Sentence length has an obvious impact on the time exonerated defendants spend in prison: the longer the sentence, the longer the time it is possible for the defendant to spend in prison before exoneration. That explains some of the racial difference in prison time before exoneration for sexual assault but not all. Controlling for length of sentence, Black sexual assault exonerees served on average about three years longer before release than white exonerees. In short, we don�t know why Black sexual assault exonerees spent so much more time in prison before release than white sexual assault exonerees, but there are two simple, plausible and compatible explanations: they received longer sentences when convicted, and they faced greater resistance to exoneration, even in cases in which they were ultimately released. (�) Rape exonerations are decreasing. Across the time span of the Registry, murder exonerations increased by a factor of five, from 14 a year in 1989 � 1992 to almost 72 a year in 2018 � 2021. (�) Rape exonerations also rose in the first dozen years of the Registry, from a few a year in 1989 � 1990 to a peak of 23 in 2002 � but then fell back to an average of about 13 a year through 2017, before dropping to less than ten a year in the last few years. (�) The comparison is equally telling when we examine exonerations by the year of the conviction of the innocent defendants instead of the year in which the exoneration occurred. The peak in murder exonerations is for convictions in 1995, directly following the all-time record in murders in the United States, after which the murder declines more or less steadily as the convictions approach the present. (�) The cause of this pattern is no mystery. Two thirds of rape exonerations are for convictions from 1973 through 1994 (237/350); 80% of them were based on post-conviction DNA testing (189/237). After that, DNA rape exonerations declined for convictions through 2007, and then disappeared entirely. Non-DNA rape exonerations, by contrast, have occurred at a reasonably steady low rate for convictions since 1982, averaging about three a year. (�) DNA testing is extremely effective at identifying a person who left testable biological evidence at a particular location. Because rapists usually leave semen or other biological material in on or near their bodies of their victims. DNA evidence can be uniquely effective for determining whether a defendant who was convicted of rape was in fact the rapist. That�s the main reason for the surge of rape exonerations after post-convictions DNA testing became available in the United States, starting in 1989 � 225 exonerations to date, 85% of which included eyewitness misidentifications. DNA testing is no help in determining guilt or innocent in a rape case when the identity of the person who had sex with the complainant is not an issue, usually because the only dispute is whether the sex was consensual. In 1989, when DNA exonerations started, there was a large backlog of erroneous rape convictions from earlier years, when pre-trial DNA testing was not available. It has produced 132 DNA rape exonerations so far � almost 60% of the total � and new ones from this era continue to trickle in. After 1989, pre-trial DNA testing became available over time. In the early 1990s, it often was not done, and quite a few innocent rape defendants who might have been cleared by DNA were convicted � 57 that produced exonerations for convictions from 1990 through 1994, about 11 a year. That rate declined to about three per year from 1995 through 2007, and none at all for rape convictions since 2008. Judging from exonerations, it appears that for the last 14 years, all (or nearly all) innocent rape subjects in the United States who might benefit from DNA testing were never convicted because the DNA evidence cleared them before trial. Unfortunately, a minority of misidentified rape suspects do not benefit from DNA testing because, for one reason or another, there is no biological material to test. There have been 136 exonerations of misidentified rape defendants who were convicted from 1980 through 1989, about 14 a year, but only 12 who were convicted in the ten years from 2000 through 2019 � and just two in the twelve years since. It seems that, now that pre-trial DNA testing is well established in the United States, the number of false rape convictions based on misidentifications has plummeted. More than 70% of the innocent rape defendants who were misidentified and convicted in the 1980s were Black men (98/136) � 70% of whom were convicted of raping white women (68/98). Of the handful who were misidentified in the 21 years since 2000, only about a third were Black (5/14), and just two were convicted of assaulting white victims. By preventing most false convictions of misidentified rape defendants, DNA testing has eliminated the bulk of the disproportionate, often discriminatory, and sometimes racist convictions of innocent Black men who were accused of raping white women. We know that a dozen or more exonerations a year no longer happen. We don�t know the total number of convictions of innocent Black rape defendants that are now prevented, but it must be hundreds a year. University of Michigan Law School. 2022.

3973	Ayele (a.k.a) W	Hello, This is Michael A. Ayele sending this message though I now go by W and I prefer to be referred to as such. I am writing this letter for the purpose of filing a FOIA request with your office. The basis for this records request is the February 2025 complaint filed by Ella Stapleton demanding a tuition refund from Northeastern University (Boston, Massachusetts).[i] I) Requested Records What I am requesting for prompt disclosure are records in your possession detailing your discussions about [1] Ella Stapleton as a Bachelor of Arts (B.A) Degree graduate of Northeastern University (Boston, Massachusetts) who (i) had in the 2025 � 2026 Spring Semester taken an �Organizational Behavior� class to satisfy the necessary prerequisite to earn a business minor; (ii) was at the very beginning of her �Organizational Behavior� class informed that the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for academic purposes was strictly prohibited; (iii) had in the month of February 2025 noticed that Northeastern University was enabling its faculty members to adopt a �Do as I say, not as I do� attitude with regards to the use of AI; (iv) has in the month of February 2025 filed a complaint (with her alma mater) demanding a tuition refund from Northeastern University for the many double standards she witnessed on matters related to the use of AI as well as academic integrity; [2] Northeastern University as a postsecondary academic institution (i) which had in the 2025 � 2026 academic year approved, supervised and exercised oversight over the �Organizational Behavior� class Ella Stapleton needed to graduate with a business minor; (ii) that would most likely have imposed harsh disciplinary sanctions upon undergraduate students if they had used AI for academic purposes; (iii) which was between the months of February and May 2025 reminded by Ella Stapleton that the failure to impose sanctions and disciplinary measures upon faculty members who use AI would constitute an unacceptable form of double standard that legitimizes selective policing in higher education; (iv) which has in the month of May 2025 contacted Ella Stapleton (within 48 hours of her graduation) to inform her that they would not impose any sanctions or disciplinary measures upon faculty members who had used AI; (v) which has in the month of May 2025 contacted Ella Stapleton (within 48 hours of her graduation) to inform her that they would not be issuing her a tuition refund for the double standards she had witnessed and shed light upon at her alma mater; (vi) which has in response to Ella Stapleton�s complaint retroactively changed policies on the use of AI in academic settings; (vii) which has (during the processing of Ella Stapleton complaint) exhibited cognitive dissonance between their professed commitments to equal treatment and the double standards they have codified to legitimize selective policing in higher education; [3] the term �cognitive dissonance� being defined as a �state of mental discomfort that occurs when a person holds beliefs or opinions that are inconsistent, or that conflict with an aspect of their behavior;� [4] the policy(ies) implemented by your local/state government agency with regards to the use of AI; [5] Melissa Jennings v UNC; [6] Christine Franklin v. Gwinnett County Public Schools; [7] Dixon v. Alabama State Board of Education. II) Request for a Fee Waiver and Expedited Processing The facts presented in my records request do/will demonstrate that [1] Ella Stapleton is a Bachelor of Arts (B.A) Degree graduate of Northeastern University (Boston, Massachusetts) who (i) had in the 2025 � 2026 Spring Semester taken an �Organizational Behavior� class to satisfy the necessary prerequisite to earn a business minor; (ii) was at the very beginning of her �Organizational Behavior� class informed that the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for academic purposes was strictly prohibited; (iii) has in the month of February 2025 noticed that Northeastern University was enabling its faculty members to adopt a �Do as I say, not as I do� attitude with regards to the use of AI; (iv) had in the month of February 2025 filed a complaint (with her alma mater) demanding a tuition refund from Northeastern University for the many double standards she witnessed on matters related to the use of AI as well as academic integrity; [2] Northeastern University is a postsecondary academic institution (i) which had in the 2025 � 2026 academic year approved, supervised and exercised oversight over the �Organizational Behavior� class Ella Stapleton needed to graduate with a business minor; (ii) that would most likely have imposed harsh disciplinary sanctions upon undergraduate students if they had used AI for academic purposes; (iii) which was between the months of February and May 2025 reminded by Ella Stapleton that the failure to impose sanctions and disciplinary measures upon faculty members who use AI would constitute an unacceptable form of double standards that legitimizes selective policing in higher education; (iv) which has in the month of May 2025 contacted Ella Stapleton (within 48 hours of her graduation) to inform her that they would not impose any sanctions or disciplinary measures upon faculty members who had used AI; (v) which has in the month of May 2025 contacted Ella Stapleton (within 48 hours of her graduation) to inform her that they would not be issuing her a tuition refund for the double standards she had witnessed and shed light upon at her alma mater; (vi) which has in response to Ella Stapleton�s complaint retroactively changed policies on the use of AI in academic settings; (vii) which has (during the processing of Ella Stapleton complaint) exhibited cognitive dissonance between their professed commitments to equal treatment and the double standards they have codified to legitimize selective policing in higher education; [3] the term �cognitive dissonance� is defined as a �state of mental discomfort that occurs when a person holds beliefs or opinions that are inconsistent, or that conflict with an aspect of their behavior;� [4] �Melissa Jennings v UNC is case law that is cited for the principle that (i) complaints filed by female undergraduate students should be taken seriously (by American colleges and universities) when they involve provocative conduct that create hostile environments; (ii) it�s unlawful to harass and provoke female undergraduate students in academic settings; [5] Christine Franklin v. Gwinnett County Public Schools is case law that is cited for the principle that female students may obtain monetary relief if they are ever subjected to incidents of chauvinism, misogyny and sexism in academic settings; [6] Dixon v. Alabama State Board of Education is case law that is cited for the principle that it�s unlawful to retaliate against people (i) who espouse anti-racist and anti-sexist convictions; (ii) participate in demonstrations opposing racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination. In my judgment, the facts presented in my request for a fee waiver and expedited processing will not bolster public confidence in the activities, the engagements and the priorities of Northeastern University because of the manner in which they have processed the complaint filed by Ella Stapleton in the month of February 2025. At the time Ella Stapleton filed a complaint with Northeastern University (in February 2025), she had a very reasonable expectation that her alma mater would [1] issue severe disciplinary reprimands upon any undergraduate student who used AI for academic purposes; [2] have a zero-tolerance policy for double standards that enabled faculty members to use AI for academic purposes while at the same time prohibiting undergraduate students from doing the same; [3] impose meaningful sanctions upon the faculty member who used AI (while telling undergraduate students not to use AI); [4] reimburse her tuition money to avoid the appearance of selective policing in higher education; [5] recognize that faculty use of AI�� while barring undergraduate students from doing so � constitutes a form of provocation that creates a hostile academic environment; [6] process her complaint in accordance with the legal principles set in Melissa Jennings v UNC which held that (i) complaints filed by female undergraduate students should be taken seriously when they involve provocative conduct that create hostile environments; (ii) it�s unlawful to harass and provoke female undergraduate students in academic settings; [7] would not exhibit any cognitive dissonance between their professed commitments to equal treatment and double standards that legitimize selective policing. Most frequently, during college and university graduation ceremonies, a keynote speaker is invited to inspire undergraduate students to apply the skills and knowledge they have gained �into the real world,� encouraging them to trust their intuitions, uphold their values, and demand fairness in the institutions they engage with. However, Ella Stapleton�s experience with Northeastern University makes a mockery of that traditional message. Indeed, instead of being met with the message that integrity matters and that postsecondary academic institutions are accountable for the standards they impose, Ella Stapleton was contacted within 48 hours of wearing her cap and gown (and accepting her Bachelor�s Degree) to be told that her legitimate complaint would lead to no substantive actions, no sanctions and no remedy (in the form of a refund). What makes Northeastern University�s response even more perturbing is that after enforcing a strict zero-tolerance policy for the use of AI in academic settings during the very semester she took her �Organizational Behavior� class, the university then retroactively revised its policy � only after her complaint was filed � to say that AI use is permissible so long as proper attribution is provided. For me, this abrupt policy reversal constituted a capricious retroactive decision deliberately intended not to address the issues Ella Stapleton raised in her complaint. When Northeastern University reached out to Ella Stapleton the day after her graduation to inform her that no sanctions would be imposed and that no refund would be issued, they communicated an unwillingness to confront double standards that legitimize selective policing in higher education. In my opinion, this sequence of events (as reported by the New York Times May 14th 2025 article) undermined public confidence in Northeastern University�s commitment to equal treatment because it gave the appearance that the institution prioritized administrative convenience over accountability that is neither arbitrary nor capricious.� The public has a compelling and legitimate interest in this information because: 1) The requested records will significantly contribute to public understanding of how a federally funded post-secondary academic institution (Northeastern University) developed, implemented, and selectively enforced its policies on AI and academic integrity. 2) The requested records will significantly contribute to public understanding of the double standards that arise when postsecondary academic institutions prohibit students from engaging in specific conduct � such as the use of AI for academic purposes � while enabling or excusing the same conduct among faculty and administrators. 3) The requested records will significantly contribute to public understanding of how American colleges and universities are integrating AI into academic practices without enabling discriminatory or inconsistent standards, particularly where male faculty members are permitted to use AI in circumstances where female undergraduate students would be punished for doing the same.� 4) As previously noted, Northeastern University is a federally funded postsecondary academic institution, and the public is entitled to understand whether it maintains consistent, non-discriminatory, non-arbitrary policies when it comes to the use of AI. 5) The requested records will significantly contribute to public understanding of the policies your local/state government has implemented with regards to the use of AI. Expedited processing is justified because: 1) The facts surrounding Ella Stapleton�s complaint directly implicate issues of equal treatment in higher education, particularly the enforcement of academic integrity rules that appear to be applied more aggressively toward undergraduate students than faculty members. A postsecondary academic institution�s willingness (or unwillingness) to address such double standards is a matter of public concern. 2) The handling of Ella Stapleton�s complaint raises concerns about selective policing in higher education. 3) The handling of Ella Stapleton�s complaint raises concerns about the very strong likelihood that female undergraduate students who report misconduct or policy violations are not taken seriously by their alma mater. This is directly relevant to public confidence in institutional accountability, especially where the conduct resembles the type of provocative, hostile and unequal treatment identified in Melissa Jennings v. UNC. 4) The decision of Northeastern University to contact Ella Stapleton the day after her graduation indicates deliberate administrative choices that sought delays rather than confronting double standards and selective policing in higher education. This has implications for campus culture, academic fairness, and the deterrence of retaliatory practices. Under penalty of perjury, I hereby declare all the statements I have made to be true and accurate to the best of my knowledge. Be well. Stay well. Take care. Keep yourselves at arms distance. Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W Anti-Racist Human Rights Activist Audio-Visual Media Analyst Anti-Propaganda Journalist Work Cited [i] In February 2025, Ella Stapleton, then a senior at Northeastern University, was reviewing lecture notes from her organizational behavior class when noticed something odd. Was that a query to ChatGPT from her professor? Halfway through the document, which her business professor had made for a lesson on models of leadership, was an instruction to ChatGPT to �expand on all areas. Be more detailed and specific.� It was following by a list of positive and negative leadership traits, each with a prosaic definition and a bullet-pointed example. Ms. Stapleton texted a friend in the class. �Did you see the notes he put on Canvas?� she wrote, referring to the university�s software platform for hosting course materials. �He made it with ChatGPT.� �OMG Stop,� the classmate responded. �What the hell?� Ms. Stapleton decided to do some digging. She reviewed her professor�s slide presentations and discovered other telltale signs of A.I.: distorted text, photos of office workers with extraneous body parts and egregious misspellings. She was not happy. Given the school�s cost and reputation she expected a top-tier education. This course was required for her business minor; its syllabus forbade �academically dishonest activities,� including the unauthorized use of artificial intelligence or chatbots. �He�s telling us not to use it, and then he�s using it himself,� she said. Ms. Stapleton filed a formal complaint with Northeastern�s business school, citing the undisclosed use of A.I. as well as other issues she had with his teaching style, and requested reimbursement of tuition for that class. As a quarter of total bill for the semester, that would be more than $8,000. (�) After filing her complaint at Northeastern University, Ms. Stapleton has a series of meetings with officials in the business school. In May, the day after her graduation ceremony, the officials told her she was not getting her tuition money back. Rick Arrowood, her professor, was contrite about the episode. Dr. Arrowood, who is an adjunct professor and has been teaching for nearly two decades, said he had uploaded his class files and documents to ChatGPT, the A.I. search engine Perplexity and an A.I presentation generator called Gamma to �give them a fresh look.� At a glance, he said the notes and presentations they had generated looked great. �In hindsight, I wish I would have looked at it more closely,� he said. He put the materials online for students to review, but emphasized that he did not use them in the classroom, because he prefers classes to be discussion-oriented. He realized the materials were flawed only when school officials questioned him about them. The embarrassing situation made him realize, he said, that professors should approach A.I. with more caution and disclose to students when and how it is used. Northeastern issued a formal A.I. policy only recently; it requires attribution when A.I systems are used and review of the output for �accuracy and appropriateness.� A Northeastern University spokeswoman said the school �embraces the use of artificial intelligence to enhance all aspects of its teaching, research and operations.� �I�m all about teaching,� Dr. Arrowood said. �If my experience can be something people can learn from, then, O.K, that�s my happy spot.� The Professors Are Using ChatGPT, and Some Students Aren�t Happy About It.

3920	Ayele (a.k.a) W	Hello, This is Michael A. Ayele sending this message though I now go by W and I prefer to be referred to as such. I am writing this letter for the purpose of filing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with your office. The basis for this records request is the very gross mishandling of the sexual misconduct complaints filed by Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen when they were both undergraduate students of Hillsdale College (Hillsdale, Michigan) in Calendar Year 2021. I) Requested Records What I am requesting for prompt disclosure are records in your possession detailing your discussions about [1] the Department of Education (DoED) as a federal agency of the United States government which had in the month of June 2002 published on its official website a portable document file (PDF) explaining that (i) the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) enables the disclosure of students� academic and disciplinary records in various circumstances; (ii) the Jeanne Clery Act of 1990 enabled �postsecondary institutions� to be forthcoming with �the final results of any disciplinary proceeding conducted by the institution against the alleged perpetrator of the crime, regardless of the outcome of the proceeding� particularly to an alleged victim of any crime of violence (as defined in U.S Code Title 18, � 16); (iii) the 1998 Higher Education Amendments enabled �postsecondary institutions� to be forthcoming with �the final results of any disciplinary proceeding for a crime of violence or nonforcible sex offense to anyone, including members of the general, if the institution determines that the student committed a violation of its rules or policies with respect to the crime;� [2] the National Council on Disability (NCD) as a federal agency of the United States government which has on (or around) January 30th, 2018 published a report affirming that (i) 20% (twenty percent) 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 2005; (ii) 32% (thirty-two percent) 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); (iii) sexual assault is a �deeply personal violation;� (iv) sexual assault �leaves physical and emotional impacts that change the lives of victims;� (v) sexual assault causes �long term physical, psychological, and emotional effects, including depression, post-traumatic stress, thoughts of suicide, flashbacks, and sleep disorders;� (vi) they had explored the following question: �Are the policies of American colleges and universities compliant with FERPA?� [3] Danielle Villareal as a former undergraduate student of Hillsdale College (Hillsdale, Michigan) who (i) was named on the Dean�s List of Hillsdale College in the first two semesters of her freshman year; (ii) was on (or around) August 29th, 2021 raped on campus when she was a full-time sophomore student; (iii) was retaliated upon following her decision to file a complaint against the sexual abuse she suffered on (or around) August 29th, 2021; (iv) has made the decision to transfer to Vanderbilt University after Hillsdale College violated the provisions of FERPA by refusing to provide to her �the final results of the disciplinary proceeding� the individual who raped her was not held to account for; (v) has begun to experience depression, post-traumatic stress as well as sleep disorders following the sexual assault she was the victim of on (or around) August 29th, 2021; (vi) should brace herself for the long-term physical, psychological and emotional effects associated with sexual assault (given the statements made by the National Council on Disability in their January 30th, 2018 report); (vii) has experienced difficulty functioning at the optimal levels she used to prior to being raped on (or around) August 29, 2021; (viii) may never again function at the optimal levels she used to as a direct consequence of the rape she was subjected on (or around) August 29th 2021; [4] Grace Chen as a former undergraduate student of Hillsdale College who (i) was on (or around) November 22nd, 2021 raped on the campus of Hillsdale College when she was a freshman; (ii) was retaliated upon following her decision to file a complaint against the sexual abuse she suffered on (or around) November 22nd, 2021; (iii) had on (or around) April 09th, 2022 sent an email to Rebekah Dell wherein she demanded to be provided with a �formal written investigation report� for what she went through on (or around) November 22nd 2021 at Hillsdale College; (iv) has taken the decision to graduate from Hillsdale College with a Bachelor�s Degree even after Hillsdale College violated the provisions of FERPA by refusing to provide to her �the final results of the disciplinary proceeding� the individual who raped her was not held to account for; [5] Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black Bachelor of Arts (B.A) Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) who (i) 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; (ii) was in the month of January 2010 informed about FERPA after being told about the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery; (iii) is thoroughly convinced that the April 05th, 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery raises key questions on Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972; (iv) has had his key questions on Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 very inappropriately filtered and distorted on internet search engines (ISE) such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo; (v) condemns violence committed against women irrespective of their racial backgrounds, their sexual orientations, their national origins, their disability status and/or their age groups; (vi) deplores the very gross mishandling of the sexual misconduct complaints filed by Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen against Hillsdale College; [6] the term �bystander intervention� being defined in federal regulations implementing the 2013 Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) as (i) �safe and positive options that may be carried out by an individual to prevent harm or intervene when there is a risk of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking;� (ii) the ability to �understand institutional structures and cultural conditions that facilitate violence;� [7] Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) as a postsecondary academic institution, which has in the past recognized that (i) they have �comprehensive, intentional, and integrated programming, initiatives, strategies, and campaigns that are intended to end sexual misconduct, dating/domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking;� (ii) their �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 programs directed at students and employees;� (iii) the Jeanne Clery Act requires American colleges and universities that �receive federal funding to (�) support victims of violence;� (iv) the �Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) amendments to the Clery Act expand the rights afforded to campus survivors of sexual assault, dating/domestic violence and stalking;� [8] the obligations of American colleges and universities to �support victims of violence� similarly situated to Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen pursuant to the provisions of the Jeanne Clery Act as well as VAWA; [9] the policies and procedures implemented by your local/state government in the event a woman (similarly situated to Danielle Villareal and/or Grace Chen) is subjected to sexual abuse in an American college or university campus that publishes on a yearly basis a Jeanne Clery report; [10] the policies and procedures implemented by your local government in the event a woman (similarly situated to Danielle Villareal and/or Grace Chen) is subjected to sexual abuse in an American college or university campus that doesn�t publish on a yearly basis a Jeanne Clery report; [11] Bob Jones University v. United States; [12] Haines v. Kerner; [13] Johnson v. City of Shelby. II) Request for a Fee Waiver and Expedited Processing In my judgment, the facts presented in my request for a fee waiver and expedited processing will not bolster public confidence in the activities, the engagements and the priorities of Hillsdale College (Hillsdale, Michigan) as well as the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan because of their very gross mishandling of the sexual misconduct complaints filed by Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen. Unfortunately, I regret to inform you that the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan has made numerous procedural errors when processing the sexual misconduct complaint filed by Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen. Indeed, one of the most glaring procedural errors of the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan was its failure to take into account the 501(c)(3) status of Hillsdale College. The 501(c)(3) status of Hillsdale College should have been very pertinent to the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan during the processing of the complaint that had been assigned Case No. 1 � 23 � cv � 1129 because Hillsdale College has previously submitted applications to the Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to be recognized by the federal government as a private post-secondary academic institution. When Hillsdale College submitted those applications, and the IRS later approved them, Hillsdale College obtained a federal benefit in the form of �tax-exempt status.� This benefit that Hillsdale College enjoys has in turn created an obligation upon the college to comply with federal laws such as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). As previously mentioned, FERPA was enacted into law on (or around) August 21st, 1974 and took effect on (or around) November 19th 1974. Since it was enacted into law on (or around) November 19th 1974, FERPA was amended on numerous occasions to strengthen transparency obligations. For instance, the 1990 Campus Security Act and the 1998 Higher Education Amendments Act have amended FERPA to decree that �postsecondary institutions� should be forthcoming with [1] �the final results of any disciplinary proceeding conducted by the institution against the alleged perpetrator of the crime, regardless of the outcome of the proceeding� particularly to an alleged victim of any crime of violence (as defined in U.S Code Title 18, � 16); [2] �the final results of any disciplinary proceeding for a crime of violence or nonforcible sex offense to anyone, including members of the general, if the institution determines that the student committed a violation of its rules or policies with respect to the crime.� In other words, these provisions were enacted to guarantee that postsecondary academic institutions could not use FERPA to conceal the outcomes of sexual violence cases. These provisions of FERPA were also enacted to create a statutory duty for post-secondary academic institutions to be forthcoming with victims as well as members of the general public on the outcomes of sexual violence cases. In practical terms, FERPA required (and continues to require) Hillsdale College to be forthcoming about the �investigation� that the college claims to have conducted following the rapes of Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen (in August and November 2021). When Hillsdale College refused to provide the final results of the �investigation� they supposedly conducted into the sexual abuse of Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen, Hillsdale College knowingly and willfully violated federal law. Previously, in 1983, in the matter of Regan v. Taxation with Representation of Washington, the United States Supreme Court had recognized that tax exemption is a �form of public financial assistance.� That same year, in 1983, in the matter of Bob Jones University v. United States, the Supreme Court had also recognized that an educational institution which violates �established public policy� forfeit the privilege of tax exemption. FERPA forms part of that public policy framework: it reflects Congress�s judgment that transparency and student safety are indispensable to legitimate educational operations. Therefore, because Hillsdale College 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status is a federal benefit conditioned on compliance with laws reflecting public policy, its pattern of conduct justifies review and revocation of its tax-exempt status. For me, the failure of the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan to consider Hillsdale College legal obligations under FERPA was troubling because, under longstanding Supreme Court precedent, courts must interpret a complaint in light of the existing regulatory framework even when a statute is not cited by name. In Haines v. Kerner and Johnson v. City of Shelby, the Supreme Court made clear that plaintiffs need not invoke specific statutory provisions for those protections to apply. The Supreme Court had also made clear that factual allegations�not �magic words��trigger the court�s obligation to consider relevant federal law. Here, in the complaint filed by Danielle Villareal and Grace Chen, these two women have asserted that they had previously filed formal sexual-misconduct complaints (with Hillsdale College) before afterwards requesting the disclosure of the disciplinary outcome which they were denied. Therefore, even without an explicit FERPA citation, the court had an obligation to consider whether Hillsdale College [a 501(c)(3) postsecondary academic institution] fulfilled its legal obligations under FERPA. When the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan failed to consider whether Hillsdale College fulfilled its legal obligations under FERPA, it made a very shocking procedural error. Regrettably, the severity of this error was compounded when the court recommended that its opinion be published, thereby transforming an already flawed ruling into persuasive precedent. As you are likely aware, a published opinion indicates that the court believes its reasoning should guide future cases. Yet the reasoning (in the case of Villareal & Chen v. Hillsdale College) rests on an incomplete legal foundation that fails to acknowledge that Hillsdale College, as a 501 (c)(3) post-secondary academic institution has legal obligations it needs to fulfill under FERPA. By omitting the statutory framework of FERPA, the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan has produced an opinion that misstates the legal obligations governing colleges and universities in sexual-misconduct cases. As a political scientist by training and education, I am thoroughly convinced that the decision of the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan to �recommend for publication� the opinion they have issued in the matter of Villareal & Chen v. Hillsdale College poses a significant danger to future litigants because it elevates an analysis that neglects controlling federal statutory obligations into a precedent that other courts may rely upon. For instance, future defendants � including colleges with 501 (c)(3) status � may cite the opinion in the matter of Villareal & Chen v. Hillsdale College to argue that courts need not consider FERPA�s disclosure requirements when evaluating institutional responses to sexual violence complaints. Likewise, future plaintiffs may find their complaints dismissed prematurely because the published opinion (in the matter of Villareal & Chen v. Hillsdale College) suggests, incorrectly, that failure to disclose disciplinary outcomes carries no federal legal significance. On a personal level, I am very deeply concerned about the precedent set in the matter of Villareal & Chen v. Hillsdale College because the opinion suggests that 501(c)(3) postsecondary academic institutions similarly situated to Hillsdale College may violate federal laws such as FERPA without consequences. Such a suggestion is alarming because even though Hillsdale College does not accept federal appropriations or Title IX funds as a matter of institutional principle, it nonetheless relies on federal tax law for its 501(c)(3) status. That status is a federal benefit administered by the IRS, and it enables Hillsdale College to receive tax-deductible donations�an indirect form of federal support that exists entirely because of federal law. If an institution can retain that federal benefit while disregarding federal statutory obligations, then the integrity of the federal government�s oversight of tax-exempt educational institutions is fundamentally undermined. Furthermore, this would indicate to other 501(c)(3) colleges that compliance with federal public-policy requirements is optional, thereby weakening enforcement, distorting public accountability, and eroding trust in the regulatory framework that governs educational institutions receiving federal tax privileges. The public has a compelling and legitimate interest in this information because: 1. The requested records will illuminate how Hillsdale College, a 501(c)(3) post-secondary academic institution, knowingly disregarded statutory disclosure duties established under FERPA while continuing to claim federal tax benefits, raising questions about the integrity of federal government oversight. 2. The requested records will clarify whether Hillsdale College�s conduct is part of a broader pattern among private post-secondary academic institution that use FERPA as a pretext to conceal the outcomes of sexual violence cases � thereby thwarting congressional intent and compromising public safety. 3. The request records will help the public evaluate the federal government�s commitment to transparency and gender-based-violence prevention � core principles enshrined in FERPA, the Jeanne Clery Act and the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). For these reasons, expedited processing is warranted because: 1. The requested records concern an urgent matter affecting public confidence in the federal government�s enforcement of laws designed to protect students from sexual violence. The longer the government withholds these records, the greater the risk that survivors will continue to face institutional secrecy and retaliation. 2. The requested records will clarify whether the federal government has permitted a 501(c)(3) institution to maintain tax-exempt privileges while openly violating FERPA - a situation that undermines public confidence in the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan. 3. Prompt disclosure is essential to demonstrate that the federal government responds swiftly, transparently, and lawfully when federally privileged post-secondary academic institutions violate statutory disclosure requirements. 4. Expedited processing will enable timely public oversight and policy response before further harm occurs. 5. Delay in the disclosure of responsive records would only serve to perpetuate the appearance of selective enforcement. 6. Delay in the disclosure of responsive records would only to further damage the credibility of the government�s commitment to student safety and public accountability. Under penalty of perjury, I hereby declare all the statements I have made to be true and accurate to the best of my knowledge. Be well. Stay well. Take care. Keep yourselves at arms distance.

3621	Miller	Dear Jackie. My name is James Brian Miller, a neighbor of Judge Arianna Slay. She is writing me a character reference and I mentioned that I once received a letter to come to receive a commendation from the fire department but was unable to attend. Arianna thought the commendation would be a good addition to my other letters. It was in the mid 1980's when my neighbor's house net door was on fire. An elderly lady lived next door alone. Smoke was billowing out of her house and I had my wife call 911 and I got some wet towels and ran to her house. The door was locked and I kicked the door twice to bust it open. Smoke was everywhere and I raced upstairs for she was an invalid and always in bed. I could not see her and was a bit overcome with smoke, so I came back down the stairs when the fire department showed up. Coincidentally, on the run was a good friend of mine Kathey Chamberlain. I told her I thought the woman was still inside (she rarely left the house) so the firefighters went in. Fortunately the woman was not in the house as her son had taken her to a doctor's appt. My question is: can I get the record of the commendation somehow? I appreciate any help you can provide.	8/8/2025	8/15/2025	Denied

3559	Foerster	Dear City of Ann Arbor, Under FOIA, I am requesting any and all documentation and financial information regarding Paul Cronin. As you know �Nick� was an unidentified witness who claimed to be University of Michigan faculty who made false sexual and criminal allegations against us which allowed the AAPD to continue its investigation and freeze on our bank accounts after my my mother-in-law dropped her allegations against us (�Nick� said Peter was Paul Cronin�s son and we were extorting Paul). �Nick� claimed Paul gave myself and my Dr. Myria Petrou $950,000 and �Nick� claimed that Paul Cronin is worth an �estimated an estimated $100 million.� The AAPD treated �Nick� as a credible witness as �Nick� was used in the affidavits for the search warrants.

3548	Foerster	Dear City of Ann Arbor, Under FOIA, I am requesting all FOIA requests (not the release of information just the FOIA request(s)) submitted to the City of Ann Arbor/City Attorney Office for AAPD Case #17-3517 (conducted by Detective Rougeau) and/or the associated DVD #170003517.001 during the period January 1, 2017 - December 31, 2020. Please exclude any FOIA request(s) by myself (Brad/Bradley Foerster) and/or Myria Petrou. The City Attorney is aware of the DVD which contains false criminal and sexual allegations by �Nick� against myself and Dr. Petrou so presumably the City Attorney has a copy of the DVD which would be subject to a FOIA request. The AAPD DVD ended up at the HHS-OIG as part of an investigation of a University of Michigan NIH ALS grant.

The HHS-OIG investigation stemmed from a complaint regarding University of Michigan medical billing dictated by Paul Cronin which was fraudulently filed under my wife Dr. Myria Petrou�s name with me being listed as witness. I�m happy to provide you with a copy of the HHS-OIG FOIA release to aid your search if needed. Once again, under FOIA I am requesting a copy of the DVD/CD referenced the the HHS-OIG.

3416	Foerster	Dear City of Ann Arbor, I just received a FOIA reply from the HHS-OIG instructing me to file a FOIA request with you regarding a DVD it received from the City of Ann Arbor for its investigation (HHS-OIG case #5-17-0-0192-4) sometime between January 1, 2017-December 31, 2019. The HHS-OIG investigation stemmed from a complaint regarding University of Michigan medical billing dictated by Paul Cronin which was fraudulently filed under my wife Dr. Myria Petrou�s name with me being listed as witness. Based on the timestamp, Paul�s wife Aine Kelly is the only one who could have submitted the HHS-OIG complaint with Aine saying she doesn�t know if her computer was compromised. The medical billing complaint was somehow transformed into the investigation of the NIH ALS grant for which I was the Co-PI and there was a sexual harassment case involving the other Co-PI which was mishandled by the University of Michigan. I�m happy to provide you with a copy of the HHS-OIG FOIA release to aid your search if needed.

3411	Schultz	I am trying to understand from concrete examples how the DDA's TIF works as applied to particular buildings with the downtown zone. For example, The Foundry building at 413 E. Huron. When I review the Assessor's webpage for the 2024 Summer taxes, I can read, e.g., that $86,358.10 was taxed to this building for the CITY STREETS taxing authority millage. At the same time, I know that this building was constructed since 1982 and so some part of its value should be subject to the DDA TIF. Considering all of the different taxes assessed against this building for Winter 2024 and Summer 2024 - AAPS OPERATING / AAPS DEBT / AAPS SINKING / COUNTY / STATE ED TAX / AAPS OPERATING / AAPS DEBT / AAPS SINKING / PUBLIC LIBRARY / CITY OPERATING / CITY BENEFITS / CITY REFUSE / CITY STREETS / CITY PARKS MAINT / CITY PARKS ACQ / CITY SIDEWALK / CITY AFF HOUSING / CITY CLIMATE ACT / AAATA CITY / AAATA COUNTY / WISD / COMM COLLEGE / WASH COUNTY OPER / DEL INVOICE / DEL SOLID WASTE - what was the amount of taxes from this building that was actually paid to the DDA? What was the amount that was paid into each of those different tax funds? Please provide records, if any, that answer these questions or from which I can deduce the answers to these questions.

3305	Smyth	Dear Records Access Officer, I hope this message finds you well. My name is Teddy Smyth, representing Coquina, a value-added reseller of technology solutions to the public sector. We serve as a government partner in acquiring the best technology at the lowest prices, particularly for commodity off-the-shelf (COTS) software licenses. We work with government IT departments to analyze their existing spending on software licenses, search for lower costs, and provide budgetary quotes for upcoming license renewals. Records Requested Pursuant to relevant Open Records laws, we respectfully request electronic copies of the following public records for your jurisdiction: The most recent available purchase orders (over the past 24 months) for the following software licenses, if applicable: Adobe, Asana, Atlassian (Jira), Autodesk, AWS, Azure, Barracuda, Cisco, Cradlepoint, CrowdStrike, Entrust, Fortra Clearswift, Fortinet, Google, Google Cloud (GCP), IBM, Keeper, KnowBe4, Microsoft, NetCloud, Nuance, PowerSchool, Rapid7, Recast, Red Gate, Red Hat, Rubrik, Salesforce, SentinelOne, Smartsheet, Solarwinds, Splunk, Veeam, VMware, WatchGuard, Zoom Specifically, we request copies of the POs for these licenses that include period of subscription dates, license numbers or part numbers, quantities, per-unit price paid, and total price paid, if available. These will often be contained in purchase order PDFs sent to your current value-added resellers (e.g., SHI, CDW-G, Insight, GovConnection). Alternatively, we would gladly accept a broader data export (such as database reports, spreadsheets, or PDF compilations) containing the same line item expenditure information if that method would require less processing time. We understand such an export may include additional expenditures beyond our specific interests, and we're glad to independently filter through this larger dataset to identify the relevant information. Request Accommodations Please note that this is a non-urgent request, and we do not wish to create undue work for your office. Our goal here is to be a good partner, not a burden! If the scope of this request is too broad, we are happy to discuss ways to limit the scope or find easier methods to access this information. Additionally, if this information is already publicly posted or available through another accessible means, we would appreciate being directed to that resource. We are very happy to pay any reasonable fees associated with this request, including copying costs and staff time, as permitted by applicable law. Please inform us of any anticipated costs before proceeding if they will exceed $100. Purpose of Request We intend to use this information to attempt to find cost savings for your IT Department on the upcoming renewals of software licenses. Our goal is to analyze historical purchase orders for COTS software licenses and prepare comparative budgetary quotes to determine if we can source the same licenses at lower costs. Within four weeks of receiving the requested information, we will provide a detailed analysis noting where we have identified potential savings and where your entity is already receiving optimal pricing through your existing reseller. We also encourage you to use any budgetary quotes we provide to negotiate better prices with your existing reseller if you prefer to maintain that relationship. Our overall mission is to save money for taxpayers and contribute to enhanced government efficacy through competitive pricing and exceptional customer service.	4/3/2025	4/10/2025	Granted/denied

I have filed a separate FOIA request to the Ann Arbor police for any complaints filed there but I am specifically asking you if you have any complaints against us on file in your office. My mother, Maria Petrou, who previously made false criminal allegations against us which resulted in our bank accounts being frozen for over a year and the loss our our properties (with no probable cause file for the search warrants), is very upset that we are asking the Bank of Ann Arbor about missing funds from the Sheriff�s sale and is threatening us and making more false allegations against me and my husband, Dr. Bradley Foerster. Also AG Nessel referred us to ask Prosecutor Savit to investigate the missing Sheriff�s sale funds. Thank you, Myria Petrou 9337 Copenhaver Drive Potomac, MD 20854	4/1/2025	4/8/2025	Denied

3289	Loper	I recently reviewed the 2014 Ann Arbor Residential Profile (available here: https://www.a2gov.org/media/xbzd2n5i/housing-layout_2014update.pdf) and found it very informative. I am writing to inquire whether an updated version of this document exists or is currently being prepared. If no updated version exists or is planned, I am interested in contributing $500 toward the city's production of such a document. Alternatively, if the city prefers, I would be happy to volunteer my own time to help produce updated versions of some of the figures in the residential profile. To effectively support this work, I would require bulk access to the city's property tax assessment records, as the BS&A system currently only allows access on a parcel-by-parcel basis, which is insufficient for the required analysis. Bulk data provided in a suitable format (e.g., CSV, Excel, or database export) would allow me to independently generate the updated profile.
