Ohio Universities Public Records Audit, Contributor
March 2016

In early 2016, I was approached by fellow journalism students from Ohio University interested in performing a public records audit on universities within the state of Ohio. Through teleconferences and emails, we formed a team of student journalists at 12 of 14 Ohio universities. In January, I oversaw a group of auditors from Ohio State as they requested five records from various university offices. 
The Ohio State-specific results, summed up in my article for The Lantern, can be read here.
