The Universities of Illinois and Arizona are attempting to conceal their faculties’ ties to climate activism, according to a new complaint from a watchdog group.

The universities have refused to release records that would reveal the involvement of some members of their faculties in writing a chapter on climate science in a newly released edition of Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence, which federal judges rely on for neutral information. After the chapter was retracted for biased science and conflicts of interest with ongoing climate litigation efforts, the universities denied requests for information in what appears to be a coordinated effort.
