Dr. Bradley Foerster Files Litigated FOIA Appeal Following President Grasso Denial – Medical Peer Review Decision (Psychiatry)

Following a documented FOIA denial and administrative appeal process, Dr. Bradley Foerster—who was the subject of the peer review—filed a litigated FOIA appeal seeking access to the peer review decision conducted by a psychiatrist. Federal law requires that individuals subject to professional medical peer review have access to the results and rationale of decisions affecting their professional standing. The University declined to produce the decision, including the outcome and its basis.

This litigated FOIA appeal follows a documented administrative record reflecting the University of Michigan’s denial of access to the peer review decision and its underlying basis.

The appeal raises questions regarding transparency, compliance with federal peer review requirements, and the ability of physicians and faculty members to access determinations that directly affect them.
