SACUA’s Faculty Protections Working Group will be hosting an event featuring attorneys from the Climate Science Legal Defense Fund and Salvatore Prescott Porter & Porter. The event will focus on Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. The presenters will discuss the problem of FOIA harassment against researchers nationally and will offer advice about how U-M faculty can best protect themselves in today’s environment. The event will include discussion of a winter term survey on whether U-M faculty have been censored or have self-censored due to current environmental pressures, and why.Due to privacy concerns, this event will be in-person only without a recording.
