Student receives grant to support lawsuit
Sunday, the FOI Oklahoma Inc. board of directors approved a grant to help student member and OU senior Joey Stipek proceed in his lawsuit against the university. Stipek filed the lawsuit in May 2013, after university staff refused to allow him access student parking ticket records. According to the university, parking records fall under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or FERPA, but Stipek argues that these files are subject to the Open Records Act.

The Institute provides opportunities for young journalists to participate in any activity that would be found in a major newsroom: reporting, photography, copy editing, web and page design, web production, video and interactive coding. Students can pick an area to focus on and work closely with Times journalists who are experts in that specialty.
You can obtain more information about the Institute and see the work done at previous Institutes at nytimes-institute.com.
