[edit] Higher education bill under review

"This morning, the state Board of Higher Education takes its quest for closed records to a legislative committee.

The hearing on Senate Bill 2087 is under way. It would make the names of college president applicants secret until finalists are picked, and then only the finalists’ names will be revealed, not the full list of applicants.

The proposed law runs counter to the state constitution’s open records-open meeting clause. Legislators are allowed to enact laws making exceptions to open records and meetings."
