UNC asks NC Supreme Court to stop release of sex assault records
Lawyers with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have asked the State Supreme Court to delay a unanimous order by appeals court judges last month to release records of students disciplined for sexual misconduct.
Posted — UpdatedIn their filing May 16, UNC lawyers asked the North Carolina Supreme Court to stay the appeals court decision until the state's highest court can decide whether to review the case. The university expects to file a petition for discretionary review before the court by next week.
But Hugh Stevens, an attorney for the media coalition, told WRAL News in April that the unanimous decision by the Court of Appeals means the Supreme Court is less likely to review the case.
