Hello Fae,
There should be no explicit statement because the WMF holds it
self-evident to preserve. The bigger problem might be the project
scope. I don't know what kind of images your academic partners wishes
to upload.
Kind regards
Ziko

Hoi,
It is the explicit goal of the Wikimedia Foundation to make information
available for as long as it exist. In addition to this, there are several
copies at the Internet Archive.
If there is no statement that satisfies your need, it will not be hard for
the WMF board to come up with one. Having such a statement by tomorrow is a
bit much to ask for.
Thanks,
GerardM

Hi,
I'm taking part in an images discussion workshop with a number of
academics tomorrow and could do with a statement about the WMF's long
term commitment to supporting Wikimedia Commons (and other projects)
in terms of the public availability of media. Is there an official
published policy I can point to that includes, say, a 10 year or 100
commitment?
If it exists, this would be a key factor for researchers choosing
where to share their images with the public.
Thanks,
Fae
