What the court held
- The committee found the university had not met its burden.
- Most of the requests predated Section 209's enactment and could not be weighed retroactively.
- Hostile communications were a concern but not sufficient on their own.
- Cooperstein had prevailed in multiple prior appeals, and had submitted no new request in roughly nine months.
