The Texas Faculty Association has sued the University of Texas' regents, alleging that the board broke the state open meetings law when it voted to layoff scads of people at the university's Medical Branch in Galveston, The Chronicle is reporting.

From the story by Harvey Rice:
"Important public decisions are being made in secret for reasons nobody knows," TFA Executive Director Tom Johnson said about the regents."They meet in secret and are accountable to no one," Johnson said.
