From the Annals of “Back off, man, I’m an Academic”

GAO has prevailed against the University of Michigan Regents’ effort to dismiss GAO’s FOIA suit seeking records reflecting the use of this public institution (specifically, its law school), for activist-donor campaigns (specifically, in service to the climate industry).

GAO previously detailed the suit and the Law School’s efforts to shield what it admitted in pleadings was a project for the Rockefeller, developing and advocating “climate superfund” legislation.

The opinion is straightforward and is available here. The court has also now issued its scheduling order for how things will proceed.
