Axios Austin is currently embroiled in three open records disputes with the University of Texas.
Why it matters: University officials acknowledge they are deferring to business interests — instead of simply releasing information to the public.
Details: UT officials are refusing to say how much money the public university has agreed to pay one outside firm to assist in its ongoing law school dean search or how much it’s contracted to pay another to consult on name-image-likeness issues involving student-athletes.
