Animal advocates sue CSU, allege open-records violation

FORT COLLINS – Lawyers with an animal-rights legal advocacy group based at the University of Denver’s law school sued Colorado State University on Wednesday over what it alleges is the school’s failure to comply with the Colorado Open Records Act.

The Animal Activist Legal Defense Project at DU’s Sturm College of Law filed the complaint on behalf of the group Animal Partisan, accusing CSU’s records custodian, Linda Schutjer, of excessive delay in responding to the group’s request for records, inadequately searching for the records, asserting specious exemptions from release, and possibly destroying records.

A trial date has yet to be set…
