Court: UW-Milwaukee properly redacted student names
By: Associated Press//March 6, 2018//
Listen to this articleMADISON, Wis. (AP) — A state appeals court says University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee officials legally blacked out student names from more than 2,000 pages of records.
Taylor Scott, a former UWM student, requested communications in 2013 by and to Vice Chancellor Michael Laliberte and the student Pahoua Xiong containing Scott’s name and parts of his email address. A court ordered UWM to produce the records and the university provided Scott more than 2,000 pages with student names redacted.
A Milwaukee County judge refused Scott’s request to order the school to release the names. The 1st District Court of Appeals upheld that decision Tuesday, ruling the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act prohibits releasing the names.
Scott’s attorney, Gary Grass, didn’t immediately return a message.
