The Impact on Institutional Research of Open Meeting and Open Records Laws in Higher Education.
Letzring, Timothy D.
New Directions for Institutional Research, v24 n4 p27-35 Win 1997
Institutional researchers should know state and federal laws and attorneys general opinions applicable to higher education concerning open meetings and open records, and be prepared for information requests by media and concerned citizens. Case law is examined, and practical steps researchers can take are outlined, including knowing who will receive the information and communicating with the home institution's lawyer. (MSE)
