About Robert Vaughn
Known for his ability to quickly memorize his students’ names and for his distinctive selection of neckties, Professor Vaughn formed a unique bond with his students that lasts to this day.
Professor Vaughn also has left his mark in the field of government transparency and accountability. Prior to joining the AUWCL faculty, Professor Vaughn was a plaintiff in an important case arising under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). That decision resulted in a requirement, now codified at 32 CFR § 701.39, that federal agencies prepare a "Vaughn index," which identifies responsive documents being withheld and the specific FOIA exemption that the agency relies on to justify its position.
He is the author of a book on federal open government laws in the United States, the editor of a book on freedom of information, the editor of a book on transparency, and the author of several articles addressing public information law. He has written several books on public employment law, including ones on civil service reform, principles of civil service law, conflict of interest regulation in the federal government, and the United States Merit Systems Protection Board.
