Last week Laramie County Community College in Wyoming lost its legal battle to keep a report about the mishandling of a student on a school trip from seeing the light of day.
While Judge Peter Arnold had initially issued a restraining order against the Wyoming Tribune Eagle, he lifted the order last week.
The report the college was trying to keep quiet alleges that the school’s president mishandled suicidal behaviors in one of the students on a school trip to Costa Rica. After the student exhibited suicidal behaviors more than once, the school’s president asked another student to look after her rather than notifying a member of the school’s Care Team.
The school had been fighting to keep the report secret citing concerns that releasing it would violate the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
