Inside Higher Ed: Georgia’s governor, Nathan Deal, on Monday signed into law a bill that allows public college and university athletic departments to avoid responding to open-records requests for up to 90 business days.
The change extends the time in which institutions must either produce the requested records or at least acknowledge the request from three days to more than three months. The amendment was quietly added to existing legislation designed to restrict public access to records about Georgia’s economic development projects after the University of Georgia’s head football coach, Kirby Smart, spent a day visiting the state capitol in March.
