University of Virginia Rector William H. Goodwin Jr. denied Sunday that the university’s Board of Visitors broke public meetings law when it met in closed session to discuss a new investment fund.
The state’s Freedom of Information Advisory Council issued an opinion Friday saying the board may have been in violation of the law when it discussed the $2.3 billion Strategic Investment Fund in a closed-door meeting June 10.
The council was responding to a letter from Virginia Beach attorney Kevin E. Martingayle, who made the inquiry on behalf of former board member Helen E. Dragas.
