Hypocrisy Watch

As you may have heard, UCF is getting sued because a football player passed away during a practice.

From the Orlando Sentinel:

UCF has aggressively pursued hearing dates to settle its motion for summary judgment and a separate motion to treat the UCFAA as a state agency protected by the Florida cap on payment of settlements. The UCFAA is a direct-support organization and repeatedly has identified itself as a private corporation in the past.

UCF wants to have it both ways on this. Recently, they refused a public records request for salary information on UCFAA employees because they contend that those employees are not state employees. When they get sued, they want to say the UCFAA is a state agency that should be protected by the cap on civil judgments.
