An appeals court denied the University’s appeal Friday to keep the names of its presidential search committee finalists secret.
The appeal came after approval by the Board of Supervisors in June.
In April, 19th Judicial District Judge Janice Clark ruled in favor of The Advocate and The Times-Picayune | NOLA.com in their joint lawsuit, saying the University couldn’t withhold the finalists’ names.
The Board of Supervisors agreed to appeal after another 19th Judicial District judge ruled against former Editor in Chief of The Reveille Andrea Gallo and in favor of the University on April 30.
