Frankye Underwood v. Alabama State University and Members of the Board of Trustees of Alabama State University.

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court affirmed the trial court’s judgment in favor of the Alabama State University Board of Trustees, holding that the Board did not violate the Alabama Open Meetings Act by either its method of adjourning meetings or by voting on a resolution not listed on the preliminary agenda. The Court also dismissed the university as a defendant, finding it immune as a state instrumentality.
