Hello Mr. Kelley,
Thank you so much for your e-mail. If you wish to file a complaint, you may do so on the appropriate complaint form by following the procedure found here:
http://www.mass.gov/ago/docs/government/oml/ago-open-meeting- law-complaint-form.pdf
The complaint must first be filed with the public body no later than 30 days after an alleged violation, or, if the violation could not reasonably have been known at the time it occurred, then within 30 days of the date when it could have reasonably been discovered. The public body then has 14 business days to respond.
Thank you, Kevin
Kevin W. Manganaro Assistant Attorney General

Kevin,
Since the meetings have not yet occurred and there is an opportunity to avoid such a violation by having your office determine that they should be open meetings (I assume UMass personnel would abide by such a decision) how does one go about finding a form to fill out for that kind of a determination?

Seems like the boys at UMass are trying to hide something from you Larry.

Remember The Wizard of Oz and the "pay no attention to that man behind the curtain"?

That's Planet umASS -- all smoke & mirrors and desperately trying to hide the fact that parents would be better off giving their children a new car than sending them to UMess.
