I heard we need Vanderbilt’s private emails to evade FOIA. How true was that?


This rumor has been around forever, but I have yet to see a legitimate source report it. The new way conferences evade foia is by having university administrators log on to private internal conference chat rooms to communicate critical conference issues. The SEC is still a private organization, even if all its members are public with Vandy out.

If Alabama’s president sends an email to Vandy’s president, the Birmingham News can FOIA that all day even though Vandy is private. Vandy being private isn’t protecting anyone else.

Freedom of Information Act only applies to public institutions and it applies even if the public institution is involved with a "private organization".

Vanderbilt is not a public institution.

Vanderbilt is not leaving the SEC unless they want to.

Period.

The whole Vandy argument that they have some kind of immunity as a private school that somehow shrouds SEC communications is pure bullshite.
