Featuring Walter Smith and Stu Smith from X’s StuStuStudio
📅 [July 8, 2025] | 🕑 [Noon ET] | 💻 Live via Zoom

Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how two citizen watchdogs have used public records laws to expose radical activity and administrative bias at the University of Virginia. Walter Smith and Stu Smith have collectively filed over 400 FOIA requests, uncovering everything from DEI hiring schemes to faculty activism and closed-door governance decisions. Their efforts have become a vital resource for journalists, alumni, and reform advocates seeking transparency and accountability in higher education.

Whether you’re part of a public university alumni group or looking for innovative ways to track activity at a private university, they have practical tips and firsthand experience to offer. This session will walk through how they structure requests, spot patterns, and work with media partners to make their findings matter.

Open to all AFSA members, staff, leaders, and board members.
