Lawsuit against EMU over sports reductions dismissed - Natasha Dado, Detroit.com

The State of Michigan Court of Claims has dismissed a lawsuit against Eastern Michigan University over its decision to cut four sports programs for budget-related purposes. The lawsuit sought to nullify EMU's budget-related elimination of four sports. It alleged the elimination of the sports violated the Michigan Open Meetings Act. EMU claimed it did not violate the Act because the Act does not apply to university boards when administrative affairs are considered. The university also claimed eliminating sports programs is an administrative decision and does not require Board of Regents approval. https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/lawsuit-against-emu-over-sports-reductions-dismissed
