Removal of text

I have removed a paragraph from the History section of this article. It is an isolated incident about a single student, and has no relevance to the "history of the university" as it would imply based on its location and content. Courtesy ping to C.Fred as they indicated they would like to see a talk page discussion, however I think from a BLPCRIME perspective (plus ONUS, and various other sundry ALLCAPS guidelines) it should stay removed until there is a consensus to re-add.

Agreed. I also had requested the page protected under potential BLP violation. I just got off work and would have removed the same text under the same reasoning. I welcome a reinsertion if there is a long term significance/impact directly to the university. Nothing I see so far indicates so. Is the student body a notable organisation outside of the university? Have the elections and appointment policies change since? Is there interference/interdiction by the university on this issue? If so, I may support a reinsertion but with no names mentioned as the crux will be the policy changes, and not the persons involved. – robertsky (talk) 11:38, 27 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
The passage that seemed relevant to the school was this: Template:Tq On a further look, there is no discussion beyond that of anything that affects the school, so I endorse the removal, even though my first look made me think it was removal to sanitize the school's reputation. —C.Fred (talk) 15:09, 27 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
