Q. My client has a complaint against the Department of Education for a pattern and practice of violating FOIA deadlines. My client's request received a response stating that it would take 185 days on average to respond. Can you share other complaints of slow responses from the Department of Education?
A. If you’d like to find copies of the FOIA lawsuits filed against the Department of Education, a great resource is The FOIA Project. On its home page, navigate to the “FOIA Lawsuits” tab on the top banner and you can search for complaints in a variety of ways, including by the defendant agency.
