Milwaukee, WI On Wednesday, November 11, 2009, the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee student newspaper filed a lawsuit in district court, alleging that the University's redaction of student names from Union Policy Board meeting minutes and audio files constituted a violation of the Wisconsin Open Records Law. The newspaper had requested all the agenda's, meeting minutes and audio recordings of the meetings back to August 1, 2008. The University released all of the requested documents, but heavily redacted the information to remove student information which, they argue, is exempt under Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act(FERPA). The newspaper seeks the full documents and legal fees [1]
