The University of Virginia will fight a demand from Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli that it hand over documents relating to the work of a former UVA climate scientist.
In a court filing, the university argued that Cuccinelli’s subpoena for the records of government-funded work conducted by climate scientist Michael Mann goes beyond the AG’s legal authority, and threatens academic freedom.
