LibraryGate: What did Doug Park hire Hershner Hunter to investigate?

  02/06/2015

Dave Hubin’s Public Records Office doesn’t seem to want to make that public. So I’ve cced Doug Park on the followup. We’ll see if he’ll oblige.

Surely Doug Park and Doug Blandy were careful to put the terms for an important investigation like this in writing. Right? Or were they so afraid that the details of their witch-hunt might someday find their way into those pesky archives that they set this up with a wink-and-a-nod?

Dear Ms Thornton:

I’d appreciate it if you could update me on the status of this public records request, which is now more than a week old.

I’m ccing Interim GC Doug Park, since he should have a copy of the contract etc., and can easily make them available.

Dear Ms Thornton:

This is a public records request for a copy of the contract or other similar documents spelling out the scope of work and compensation for the firm UO has hired to investigate the release of documents from the UO Presidential Archives.

A ask for a fee waiver on the basis of public interest, as demonstrated by the many news stories here: http://www.uomatters.com/tag/uo-presidential-archives
