Legal teams at the universities—Nebraska, University of Florida, UC Davis,
and the University of Illinois—are currently evaluating the situation, but
some scientists have already spoken out against the FOIA request. Although
all of the targeted academics feel the requests are an unwarranted invasion
of their privacy, many tell WIRED they are happy to comply with the
requests, adamant they and their colleagues have nothing to hide.

“I’m just a teacher, trying to distill a controversial literature for the
general public,” Folta says of his stance on genetically modified foods. “I
turned over everything [requested by the FOIAs] immediately.” He insists
his job is to communicate that science to the public, no matter what kind
of intimidation he might face.

laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
