December 2012 Group Watch: Legislators Request ASU Documents
Three Alabama State legislators have submitted a request for school financial records under the Freedom of Information Act in wake of the most recent occurrences at Alabama State University. The request was submitted by Senator Dick Brewbaker, Representative Jay Love and Senator Trip Pittman. The request asks to identify all contracts, subcontracts, expenditures and other relationships between Alabama State University and public officials and their family members. Brewbaker chairs the Senate Committee on Education Policy, while Love and Pittman chairs the Education appropriations committees in the House and Senate, respectively. The request comes after the Alabama State University Board of Trustees’ decision to place the President on paid leave in late November. The board cited no reason for that action.
