The FOIA request is also a form of public doxxing, which is very useful to faculty in exposing corruption or just as an organizing tool. A lot of activists dox on a regular basis using a number of methods, some in the gray areas of law (ethically vs. unethically–for personal gain or revenge). Doxxing can be used as a forced means of transparency in arenas where there is little accountability, like Higher Ed.
