Update on #TantonPapers Lawsuit:
@UMich, after losing at the Mich Supreme Court, and losing again on remand, is re-appealing the case up to the Michigan Court of Appeals.
We had asked them to prepare a log of which FOIA exemptions they thought applied to the sealed papers.

Of course they resisted, even after the Court ordered them to. Now they're appealing that.
I get that UM is part of the identity of the State of Michigan.
Why they're fighting to keep an influential white nationalist's papers secret is beyond me.

Curiously, they're arguing that unsealing the papers inhibits access to knowledge.
Same old argument: "No one will donate to us!"
There are simple things donors can do to effectuate their intent. I'm not saying donors can't do those things.
Just that Tanton didn't.

If you're still reading this, I urge you to tweet at @UMich president @DrMarkSchlissel and demand they release the sealed #TantonPapers.
Those papers tell a story of a movement that needs to see the light of day.
