(Reuters) – A lawsuit filed on Thursday by former Michigan State University athletes victimized by Larry Nassar alleges that its trustees voted in secret to withhold thousands of documents related to the disgraced team doctor in violation of state law.
“We contend that board members made a behind-closed-doors secret decision not to release the records in blatant violation of the Open Meetings Act,” Azzam Elder, a lawyer for the victims, said in a statement.
Elder also said the board violated the Freedom of Information Act in denying the plaintiffs access to emails that may have shown whether the trustees made a decision on the documents behind closed doors.
The lawsuit asked the Ingham County Circuit Court to require the board to vote publicly on whether to release the documents or keep them confidential.
The school said in April that attorney-client privilege protect the documents. MSU on Thursday said it did not have further comment on pending litigation. more
