PR 20-32 Taylor v. City of Providence – No violation

The Complainant alleged that the City violated the APRA when it withheld from disclosure the names of unsuccessful applicants for a City position. Consistent with precedent, we found significant privacy interests in disclosure of an unsuccessful applicant's name. We also found that disclosure of the names in this context would do little to shed light on the workings of government. We accordingly found that the privacy interest outweighed the public interest. We found no violations.
