The Assembly and five other North Carolina media outlets have filed a lawsuit against UNC-Chapel Hill for refusing to release a report on the School of Civic Life and Leadership. The 400-page report covers a seven-month investigation into allegations involving the school and its leaders. UNC-Chapel Hill's general counsel cited protections for personnel information and attorney-client privilege in declining the request. The media outlets argue this is a violation of North Carolina public records law. The university has the right to release the report, as it did with a 2014 investigation. The case is ongoing.
