Opinion Letter No. 90-11
February 26, 1990
University Program Review Reports
Self-study reports and program reviews prepared in
connection with the evaluation of academic
departments of the University of Hawaii must be made available for
public inspection after information
protected by the "deliberative process privilege" has
been segregated from the reports. This privilege
protects predecisional memoranda that contain the recommendations
or opinions of agency staff in
order to promote frank and candid discussion of ideas on issues
of agency policy. Purely factual
portions of an otherwise deliberative document must be made available
for public inspection and
copying under the UIPA.
