OCR Complaint Docket 05-23-2082 Exhibit: Gagging the independent press

Dear Gov. Tony Evers-

I am writing to you today notifying you I am a student entrepreneur and freelance reporter who has been gagged by Judge Chris Taylor, Dr. Sara Vogt, who is my current disability coordinator at UW Whitewater and Title IX Investigator Michael Kent. I have brought my concerns before the Dept. of Education regarding prior restraint.

I have notified the Wisconsin Judicial Commission of my intent to file a complaint against Taylor during the State of Wisconsin v. Jesse Scworck status hearings in August when I attempted to record in her courtroom. I was denied and was on the scene as a credentialed journalist working for Dr. James Kates, who was the oversight of my independent study during the fall 2022 semester.

I have been covering my university hate/bias complaint on the scene from the gonzo journalism perspective. Title IX has gagged me and has allowed my disability coordinator the right to place a confidentiality disclaimer on our open record emails. I cannot relay to my Dept. of Education investigator, who is added to the email for exhibit purposes. I have attempted to work with WSG President Will Hinz, who is ignoring me. I have cc:d my investigator who will affirm I made the university aware.

I am seeking the filing of a writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court indicating I have been applied prior restraint by the State of Wisconsin. I would like to discuss how we can resolve the issue. I am asking for a university line of sight above Hinz’s authority due to his neglect with addressing my issue.

At this point, I am receiving passive aggressive communication, professor bias by Vogt when requesting accommodations and am trying the best I can to honor your request for keeping the matter with my situation at Whitewater discreet. At this point, the people must call upon you for the unconstitutional free speech restraint Title IX at the University of Wisconsin has placed on me as a independent journalist.

For the record, Taylor allowed WKOW the right to record the second status hearing. I have provided the link to the report I filed for my class project. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Respectfully,

Bradley Burt
