OP 2011-42

Tuesday, July 5, 2011
Reference: 
2011-42

Summary:
Request for the records related to Georgetown University’s 2010-2011 Campus Plan and Office of Planning’s May 5th, 2011 report thereon. While Appellant relied upon public interest in disclosure to overcome assertion of the deliberative process privilege, disclosure would likely stifle future honest and frank discussions. They are predecisional and they reflect alternative proposals, recommendations, suggestions, ideas, and personal opinion.

Exemption/Issue:
D.C. Official Code § 2-534(a)(4) (deliberative process privilege) 

Disposition:

Upheld
