State Supreme Court Says Animal-Rights Group Cannot Have Records of Ohio State Research

The Ohio Supreme Court has ruled that Ohio State University is not required to release videotapes of animal research sought under the state’s open-records law by an advocacy group opposed to such studies.

Fifteen other public universities have faced similar requests in the past year, although 11 voluntarily released the information sought. One of the three that refused, Mississippi State University, has been sued.
