Moore described the FOIA as a statute whose goal is "free in formation." "Thus, the defendant (USC) has the burden of justifying nondisclosure and any doubts at all arising in this case should be resolved in favor of disclosure," ^ he said. ^ J?g * kttHBII Campaigning " ' " D I . 1 vice rresiutini uuoryu uusn endorse Monday.

"The purpose of the J-OIA is to promote disclosure of information of a public nature, and the expenditure of tax dollars is certainly of a public nature." The university argued that disclosure would invade Sadat's personal privacy. The judge disagreed saying Sadat is a public figure and has a lower expectation of personal privacy. "It is clcar that by virtue of her acts and mode of life Sadat has become a public figure," Moore said. "When one is a public figure, privacy rights are drastically curtailed." " The public policy in favor ol the disclosure of financial information is not to be thwarted because of a claim that disclosure would unreasonably invade personal privacy," he said in the ruling. "There is no personal privacy right here to override tliegoals of the FOIA.
