Clark College Sued Under Open Public Meetings Act

Even though the focus is usually on local government bodies, the Open Public Meetings Act applies to state boards and commissions as well.

In this case, the defendant is the Clark College, a state community college. The allegations center on the student association at the college deciding student-election campaign violations and taking a personnel decision in a closed meeting.
