University of Michigan Confirms No Waiver of Peer Review Notice for Dr. Bradley Foerster
The University of Michigan has confirmed that no records exist reflecting any waiver by Dr. Bradley Foerster of the right to receive notice of the 2018 peer review evaluation.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted seeking any waivers or agreements—by Dr. Bradley Foerster or any representative—waiving the right to receive notice of the 2018 peer review evaluation.
The University denied the request, stating that no responsive records were located.
No Waiver of Peer Review Notice
The absence of any responsive records confirms that no waiver exists of the right to receive notice of the peer review evaluation.
This determination eliminates any claim that notice was voluntarily relinquished or contractually waived.
No Notice Was Ever Provided
No notice of the 2018 peer review evaluation conducted by psychiatrist Dr. Kirk Brower was ever provided to Dr. Bradley Foerster.
As a result, the absence of notice cannot be attributed to any waiver, agreement, or failure to respond.
