My request for an advisory opinion from the Virginia Freedom of Information Advisory Council...







Fingers crossed. With any luck, an advisory opinion might be issued in around 14 days here.






Note: An advisory opinion is non-binding and un-enforceable, but would bolster my case.

The University of Virginia apparently hates Freedom of Press...

It's happening again. The University of Virginia is ignoring follow-up inquiries on multiple Freedom of Information Act requests that I have submitted going back to February of 2020.  The hill that the University of Virginia wants to die on is the "You aren't a resident" hill. Meanwhile, the they are completely ignoring my First Amendment guaranteed right of Freedom of the Press. Despite multiple follow-up emails, UVA doesn't seem interested in following the Virginia FOIA law. I hope they have a change of heart because there are other legal remedies available. Denial of my FOIA requests is in my opinion a creative way to stop the public from getting information about the government they are paying for and which belongs to them. Public servants believe that they can use law to actually stop the public from learning what exactly they are doing with the power they have been given by us. Foolish.
