The Daily Reveille’s Editor in Chief Andrea Gallo will go to court at 9:30 a.m. today for her lawsuit regarding the secrecy of the search for newly appointed LSU president F. King Alexander.

Gallo’s suit, which charges that the applicants of the search for someone to fill the newly created LSU president position should be made public, follows a similar hearing held Thursday for the joint lawsuits of NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune and The Advocate, in which Judge Janice Clark ordered the Board of Supervisors release the names of the candidates.

“I’m excited to go to court today and stand up for transparency and the public’s right to know information about their elected officials,” Gallo said. “We look forward to the outcome.”

Board Chairman Hank Danos released a statement Friday saying the University was disappointed in the ruling and planned to appeal Clark’s decision.

“In addition, some press reports that the judge ruled the search was conducted illegally are flatly wrong,” Danos said in the statement. “The judge ruled that certain information must be disclosed, not that the search was conducted illegally.”
