The University of Michigan has not produced a syllabus for a class taught by former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot in the fall of 2024, more than six months after The College Fix made the request.
The public university initially promised a response by Oct. 22 when The Fix first made its request Sept. 30. The Fix asked for Lightfoot’s class syllabus and other documents related to a project for her three-credit graduate level course on public service.
Since then, the university’s Freedom of Information Act Office sent a series of emails repeatedly delaying the request due to an “unprecedented backlog.”
“Due to the large number of requests being processed by the University we are working through an unprecedented backlog of FOIA requests for which deposits have been paid, and we are still working on the response to your request,” an April 11 email to The Fix stated.
