U.Va. is all in on Climategate cover-up

The University of Virginia has joined a list of institutions claiming that there has been an actual inquiry into and “exoneration” of scientists exposed by the November 2009 Climategate leak. At the same time, however, the university’s actions make a mockery of the idea.

U.Va.’s Aug. 23 release under court order of 3,827 pages of emails, records which the university previously denied existed, was its second since the American Tradition Institute sought judicial assistance in bringing the school into compliance with the Virginia Freedom of Information Act.
