The USA Today filed a public-records lawsuit against the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s director of records on Friday for denying details on the metrics present in the restructured contracts of football coach Scott Frost and men’s basketball coach Fred Hoiberg.
Gannett Satellite Information Network LLC, which publishes USA Today, alleges that reporter Steve Berkowitz’s requests for records to the “metrics mutually agreed to” in the contracts of Frost and Hoiberg was denied by director of university records Jaclyn Klintoe.
Klintoe denied the request for Frost’s contract metrics in April and denied the request for Hoiberg’s metrics in May, as she cited that both requests fell within an exception from disclosure due to “personal information in records regarding personnel of public bodies other than salaries and routine directory information.
