"Not to say we think there is anything bad going on with the foundation, but when its mission is so closely tied to the university's mission, to promote the educational objectives of the university ... then transparency is generally a good thing," said Colleen Murphy, executive director of the Connecticut Freedom of Information Commission. The agency submitted testimony last year in favor of McLachlan's bill.

Frank LoMonte, executive director of the Student Press Law Center and an expert on the First Amendment, said that nationally "it's really a mixed bag" as to how open public university foundations are.
