Right-to-Know Law • Exceptions • Attorney-Client Privilege • Investigation
California Univ. of Pa. v. Schackner et al, PICS Case No. 17-1400 (Pa. Commw. Aug. 22, 2017) Hearthway, J. (21 pages).
While the defendant university’s inquiry into the collapse of an on-campus garage was ancillary to its public safety services and thus not a noncriminal investigation under Section 708(b)(17) of the Right-to-Know Law, the university was entitled to an in-camera review of certain documents that might be exempt from the law under attorney-client privilege. The court affirmed in part, reversed in part and remanded.
