Content policy and take-down notice
Digital Collections hosted by Wesleyan University are intended to provide accurate and complete representations of information in support of the ongoing educational and scholarly mission of the university and in order to advance the study and research of our scholars.
Wesleyan is committed to preserving the authenticity and integrity of the scholarly and historical record. Collections for which Wesleyan University owns copyright (including the Olla Podrida yearbooks and Argus student newspapers) will be available in their entirety. It is unlikely we will correct errors or inaccuracies present in the original items, redact content, or otherwise remove access to these materials as a whole. In cases where an individual's privacy or security is threatened, a takedown request may be submitted by them and we will follow the procedures detailed below.
For material not owned by Wesleyan University, we take steps to identify and remediate sensitive information that could threaten the privacy and security of individuals, organizations, or other entities represented in the collection(s) before placing collections online. Despite these efforts, information considered sensitive or private may inadvertently be included in digital collections. In such cases, living individuals whose private information is exposed (or who are acting on behalf of a minor child or an incapacitated parent, spouse, domestic partner or adult child) may submit a takedown request. All such requests will be reviewed by relevant Wesleyan University stakeholders, who may ask for additional information to better understand the issue and its consequences. Upon request, we’ll temporarily remove material from public view while we address a rights issue.
Some materials in our collections use language and images that represent ideas, values, and practices that patrons may find harmful, offensive, or disturbing. These items reflect the attitudes and values of their creators and constitute a social record of a particular place and time. Following our commitment to maintaining the authenticity and integrity of the historic record, Wesleyan provides access to these items along with contextual information within descriptive records, and, where appropriate, includes statements attached to items and collections with notice about potentially harmful, offensive, or disturbing content.
