The Seattle Times today has another example of how your past can come back to haunt you on the internet. A decade ago Shakespear Feyissa was arrested on suspicion of attempted sexual assault. He was a student at Seattle Pacific University at the time, and he was never charged. But he was suspended. Feyissa alleged discrimination, and the story ended up in the student newspaper, where it remains today - online for anyone to read. Feyissa says it's hurting his career, so he's been fighting to have the article removed. While SPU is on his side, the student newspaper staff won't hear of it. A former editor told the Times: "We explained to them, if they wanted to start down a path of removing historical archives and pulling it from the public sphere, what they're doing is censorship." So the standoff continues. Brier Dudley writes today: "With information at our fingertips - through Google or any other search engine - Feyissa may want to reconsider that old saying, that there's no such thing as bad press."
Adds Tim in comments: "The ironic thing is that now when you do a Google search for 'Shakespear Feyissa' the Seattle Times story comes up (on the first page, too). I doubt they'll be removing this story from their archive, either."

Buildings are not cheap and not everybody can buy it. But, mortgage loans was invented to help people in such cases.
