Buff and Blue on the missing Wirick article

I received an email response not too long ago where I inquired into the missing Buff and Blue article on Wirick. It was an interesting email whose answer brings up bigger questions. I feel it's important for people to know what was in this email sent to me from someone on the inside.

Unfortunately, we had to take the article down recently due to personal concerns for safety. However, we will be meeting with several administrators about this article when second semester begins and then make a final decision about whether to remove that article permanently or to post it back up.


I apologize for the inconvenience!

Shouldn't the author of that article ought to have thought of that first before publishing it?  I responded back inquiring further about this so-called "safety" concerns and the reply was this.

Unfortunately, I'm not in the position to say who, but any concern of safety is always important, so the article is no longer public until further notice.

Now, I'm thinking with a question mark over my head over this so-called "concerns for safety." Safety concern for whom? The author who wrote it? The names of the people that were discussed in that article? And  what's interesting is that this article will be discussed among "several administrators"? Sounds serious if the BnB is meeting with "several administrators" just to decide over an article that the BnB wrote.  I'm wondering if this "safety" concern is more of a ruse and has more to do with preventing a potential lawsuit down the road? Who knows? Gallaudet University's spring semester began on January 18. It has been almost two weeks. Perhaps we'll here about this decision soon enough? And if they decide not to put the article back upon, will we know about it?

What do you think?

It has been about month and half since the article was removed from the public eye although I still have a copy of that article for those who request it.  You can still see bits and pieces of the article here.
