October 15, 2007 - Central Michigan University Dean Pamela Gates tried to refuse a Freedom of Information Act request today and after learning she had to accept the request pertaining to Democratic congressional candidate Gary Peters, she became aggressive and struck a student recording the incident on video.
Gates heads the College of Humanities and Social and Behavorial Sciences, which includes the Political Science Department – where Peters serves as a temporary assistant professor. The FOIA request complied with Michigan law and sought among other things "access to and/or copies of every e-mail sent and received" by Gates "concerning Professor Gary Peters."
