UFT Sues the DOE to Obtain Full Access to Joel Klein Emails
The UFT sued the Department of Education on Nov. 15 over its failure to comply with Freedom of Information requests for copies of emails that link former Chancellor Joel Klein and senior DOE staffers with City Hall political figures and charter school proponents. The union charged that the copies of the emails that were provided after a wait of nearly two years were so heavily redacted and blacked out that the DOE’s “unlawful conduct” has violated the state law that makes government records available to the public. The UFT made its initial request on May 28, 2010; and it was only after the UFT filed suit in court nearly two years later — on April 3, 2012 — that the DOE began providing some of the data requested. The lawsuit charges that “the DOE’s reasons for redacting portions of records are arbitrary, unreasonable and irrational.”
