The Pittsburgh-Post Gazette last Tuesday sued West Virginia University for failure to abide by the West Virginia’s law on open access to records.
According to an article in its own paper, the Post-Gazette claims that WVU delayed in answering its request to release some documents related to its retroactive award of an MBA degree to Heather Bresch, daughter of the governor of West Virginia, Gov. Joe Manchin.
The suit alleges that WVU did not respond promptly to a series of requests made by the paper under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Some of the requested documents addressed in the suit include WVU President Michael Garrison’s e-mail, cell phone and land-line records.
