Content Removal Policy

The Appalachian strives to provide thorough and truthful coverage to our readers. We intend to maintain and preserve our full record of publication online; however, we recognize the long-lasting impact some coverage may have on a person. Content – whether written, visual or otherwise – will not be removed without compelling argument at the discretion of a review board consisting of current editorial leadership. The review board may consult advisers, the SPLC, FIRE or other organizations for additional help in determining whether an argument warrants change. If you feel that you have an argument sufficient for consideration, please complete the form below.

To be considered, requests must meet the following criteria:

• Forms must be submitted by the person or party directly involved in the story, not on behalf of another individual or organization.
• The Content Removal Form must be submitted with full and accurate information.

Note: Opinion pieces reflect the perspective of a single writer.
