DOVER -- The University of Delaware and Delaware State University would be forced to lift a cloak of secrecy surrounding their operations under a bill expected to be introduced in the General Assembly today.
Citing several recent gripes with each university, a contingent of lawmakers wants to redefine UD and DSU as "public bodies," which would force them to comply with all provisions of the state's Freedom of Information Act.
The bill's primary sponsor, state Rep. John Kowalko, said the two schools need to operate with more transparency in light of controversies over construction on each campus as well as UD's decision to disband its men's track and cross-country teams.
"They can't be private one day and public the next," said Kowalko, D-Newark-South. "We give them entirely too much money that we cannot track."

This policy is much needed in Maryland and specifically at SU.p
