Following the release of the Wainstein report last month, UNC officials said they had begun disciplinary proceedings against nine employees – but so far, they’ve refused to say who those employees are.

Now, 11 local news agencies have filed a joint lawsuit against UNC, to force the university to release those names.

The suit was filed in Wake County Superior Court; it names Chancellor Carol Folt and Vice Chancellor Felicia Washington as defendants.

UNC officials have cited employee confidentiality as their reason not to release the names.

The nine names may already have been released unofficially, though: shortly after the Wainstein report’s release, the Daily Tar Heel listed the names of nine employees – all of whom had been named in the Wainstein report – and reported that an unnamed source had confirmed that those were the nine individuals in question. UNC has never officially confirmed that report.

WCHL is not a part of the current lawsuit.
