While I’m promoting the musings of regular Bacon’s Rebellion readers (see previous post), I dare not forget the column authored by Becky Dale: “FOIA Fiddle-Faddle.” Becky is devotee of Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act and she keeps everyone, including the Attorney General and the Virginia Freedom of Information Advisory Council on a short leash.
This week’s topic: should the student senates and other student organizations of public universities be subject to FOIA? Becky concludes, “no,” but she would urge them to voluntarily hold open meetings and take minutes, which are good habits of governance.
