Judge allows Central Washington University report to be released

From Daily Record:

A superior court judge removed a temporary restraining order Monday that barred Central Washington University from releasing documents related to a sexual harassment investigation involving professor and state House of Representatives candidate Mathew Manweller.
 
The ruling by Kittitas County Superior Court Judge Scott Sparks left CWU free to release redacted investigation records to the public. Sparks denied a motion to dismiss the case. 
 
“This is a hard area, because public records are so fundamentally the public’s records,” Sparks said. “When the public pays for something, usually it is the public’s. But we also like to think that we have privacy.”
