Certain records about a June 2023 cyberattack at the Colorado Department of Higher Education are subject to CORA’s deliberative process privilege and can’t be disclosed to a requester, a judge decided.
A CORA request seeking information about a June cybersecurity attack at the Colorado Department of Higher Education has led to a court dispute over records withheld under the law’s deliberative process privilege.
CORA’s deliberative process privilege might be the most frustrating category under which public records can be kept confidential in Colorado. When invoked, the government is claiming the records you requested contain material “so candid or personal that public disclosure is likely to stifle honest and frank discussion” among officials.
