UVA Goes All-in on Climategate FOIA Cover-up

By: Christopher C. Horner, Washington Examiner, 08/27/11

The University of Virginia has joined a list of institutions claiming that there has been an actual inquiry into, and even ‘exoneration’ of, scientists exposed by the November 2009 “ClimateGate” leak, while simultaneously through its actions making a mockery of the idea.

UVa’s August 23 release under court order of 3,800 pages of emails – records that UVa previously denied existed – was its second since the American Tradition Institute (ATI) sought judicial assistance in bringing the school into compliance with the Virginia Freedom of Information Act (VFOIA).

The school has spent approximately $500,000 to date keeping these records from the taxpayer, who paid for their production to begin with.

Read the rest here.

See documents and previous media coverage of ATI Environmental Law Center’s FOIA case v. University of Virginia regarding Dr. Michael Mann.
