UT System brief to the Texas Attorney General's Office. The request presents two questions:
1. Does the University of Texas System Board of Regents have authority to prohibit, by rule or otherwise, a regent from obtaining access to and copies of records in the possession of the University that the regent believes are necessary to review to fulfill his duties as a regent?
2. Regardless of whether UT System Board of Regents' Rule 10801(5.4.5) is legally enforceable after a Board meeting pursuant to that Rule in which two or more regents approved the regent's records request, does the Chancellor have authority to prohibit the regent from having access to or obtaining copies of records that the regent believes are necessary to review to fulfill his duties as a regent?
