A case headed to the Michigan Supreme Court will test some limits of Michigan universities' obligations under public records law.
The new Democratic-nominated majority on the Michigan Supreme Court will hear arguments Jan. 6 in a case brought against the University of Michigan, seeking access to documents donated to the university's Bentley Library by an anti-immigration activist.
John Tanton, who has helped launch a dozen groups, is a study in contrasts.
The university denied a public records request for the documents because they were donated on the condition that they would remain closed to public viewing for 25 years.
