Thursday’s petition asks the state Supreme Court to determine who is considered a finalist for chief executive jobs not only at the university but at other state and local government entities under the Colorado Open Records Act. The act requires that a finalist’s identity must be publicly disclosed at least 14 days before a job offer is made. It also allows public access to records submitted by finalists.
DENVER Attorneys for the widows of two excavation workers killed in a trench collapse accident in Windsor April 16, 2019, have filed suit against numerous governments and emergency service operations in connection with the deaths.
