Here's the latest. The Delaware Superior Court ordered the university to respond to our objections to its response justifying its decision to restrict access to the records.

Reviewing an affidavit submitted by the university, and Judicial Watch and the Daily Caller News Foundation's objections to it, Judge Mary M. Johnston on August 23 gave the University 30 days to respond.

In June the court had ordered the university to provide under oath additional information on its decision, in which the university asserted that no state funds were used on the university's "matters or undertakings" regarding Biden and that the Biden Senate papers were never discussed at any meetings of the university's full Board of Trustees.

This began when, with the Daily Caller News Foundation, we filed a July 2020 Delaware Freedom of Information Act lawsuit after the university denied our requests on April 30, 2020, for all of Biden's Senate records and records about the preservation and any proposed release of the records, including communications with Biden or his representatives (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. University of Delaware, No. N20A-07-001 MMJ (Del. Super.)).

In February of 2021, we appealed an adverse lower court ruling, and the Delaware Supreme Court returned the case to the lower court.
