Regent Hall's arguments against McRaven to get to documents does not appear to sway Supreme Court

Justices question Hall’s case, including whether the authority to compel McRaven to release documents was an authority given to individual regents or to the board as a whole

Regent Wallace Hall’s strategy to compel the University of Texas to produce documents appeared weak in arguments before the Texas Supreme Court Wednesday morning.

Hall has been at the center of a firestorm during his six years on the University of Texas System’s Board of Regents, often at odds with university officials and occasionally vindicated, such as when an outside investigation revealed Hall was right to be concerned about legislative influence on admissions at the flagship university in the UT System.

Whether Hall was right or wrong, however, was not the argument before the state’s top court today.
