ANN ARBOR, MI The University of Michigan is being sued by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni over alleged violations of the Freedom of Information Act.
In December, ACTA filed a complaint in the Michigan Court of Claims on behalf of Lance J. Johnson, a UM Law School graduate who made a gift to the school in 2007.
