[edit] WVU ordered to pay PG's legal costs in records fight

"A West Virginia judge has ordered West Virginia University to pay attorney fees and costs incurred by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette when it sued the university under the state's open-records law last year.

But Monongalia Circuit Court Judge Robert B. Stone ruled that WVU gave the newspaper all the information it was required to disclose relating to its decision to retroactively award a graduate degree to Mylan Inc. executive Heather Bresch that she did not earn. Ms. Bresch is the daughter of West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin."
