The University of Wisconsinâ??s medical school and its supporting foundation are violating the stateâ??s public records law by refusing to release faculty comments about a proposed conflict-of-interest policy, according to a lawsuit filed Friday.
The suit was filed by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and reporter John Fauber, who has written extensively about the relationships between drug companies, medical-device makers, doctors and medical schools. It seeks a court order to make the comments public.
