Lawsuits
CREW v. Department of Education
On May 11, 2011, CREW sued the Department of Education after the agency refused to comply with CREW’s Freedom of Information Act request for copies of calendars and other meeting and appointment records of former Education Deputy Undersecretary Robert Shireman and current Deputy Undersecretary James Kvaal. Both men have played major roles in the development of regulations governing the for-profit education industry, and CREW requested the appointment records to shed light on which individuals and groups may have influenced the regulatory process and its outcome. After CREW sued , the Department of Education produced 1,591 pages of documents, and CREW agreed to dismiss the case on October 14, 2011.
