Groups, MSU Clinic urge Biden for openness
Forty-three groups including MSU Law's First Amendment Clinic sent President Biden a letter urging for government transparency
Leaders of forty-three groups sent President Joe Biden a letter urging for open government to be a top priority for the administration. The group, which includes the American Civil Liberties Union, the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, and Michigan State's First Amendment Clinic, stressed that transparency is "a pillar of democratic governance."
