University Board threatened with jail for public records delays

9/9/2013: An adamant state judge sternly warned the Louisiana State University Board of Supervisors on Monday that it faces possible imprisonment if it does not immediately comply with her more than four-month-old order to make public the records of its secret presidential search…. Clark ruled Aug. 14 that the board has been in contempt for several months for violating her order requiring LSU to release the names of semifinalists and finalists in its secret presidential search. She fined LSU $500 a day for each day the records are not produced. The mounting fine currently stands at about $59,000.
