UConn Argues Donor List is University Trade Secret

ADVERTISEMENTS

Bloomberg BusinessWeek is reporting that a Connecticut appeals court is considering whether the University of Connecticut's lists of library supporters, theater guests and sports season ticket holders should be public information.

Open-records experts say it's the first time that Connecticut courts are deciding whether a public entity can claim some of its records are trade secrets, even if they were created at public expense.
