CourtRules Against SIU in FOIA Contract Row
Illinois appeals court orders SIU to release employment contracts for President Glenn Poshard and other officials under FOIA. The ruling rejects the university stance that contracts contain private data, citing the public duties disclosure clause. The case stemmed from Anna Gazette-Democrat and The Southern Illinoisan filings after SIU had disclosed some items but argued contracts were private.
