From the Coloradoan (Fort Collins): Colorado State University won’t try to restrict public record access, after all.

While the CSU System General Counsel raised the idea of limiting applicability of the Colorado Open Records Act to Colorado residents only, the governing body for CSU doesn’t have any interest in lobbying to change that law, spokesman Mike Hooker said in an email.

“The Board (of Governors) and CSU System are always careful in pursuing any potential legislative change, generally limiting efforts to areas that have a direct impact on our ability to fulfill the role and mission of the system institutions,” Hooker wrote. “While many potential areas are discussed in any given year, very few options are actively pursued.”

CSU System’s General Counsel Michael Nosler pitched the idea at the Oct. 3 Board of Governor’s meeting as part of CSU’s possible legislative agenda for the upcoming session of the Legislature. The board said it would discuss possible legislative goals more in-depth at its December meeting.

Nosler told the Coloradoan after his Oct. 2 presentation that the agenda had not yet been set and “this may be much to do about nothing.”
