Our attorney general's office has objected to role because they are assigned to represent various public bodies, and they see it as a conflict.

There's no confusion in our office as to what it's for. It absolutely does not have anything to do with Title IX. This is strictly a consumer disclosure.

They have to file suit or explain why they will not. In most cases a citizen is left on his own to bear the burden of the cost of a lawsuit, and that, unfortunately, is beyond the reach of most citizens.

This is a long-standing PAR recommendation.

Our laws are very broad about what is a public record. They can be in any format.

I tried to steer the student newspaper toward more pertinent information instead of the usual gossip and bull.
