HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. (WTVD) — A judge in Hillsborough has dismissed parts of a lawsuit by a former UNC provost against the university.

Chris Clemens left his position in May after he says the university asked for his resignation.

He went on to sue the university for violating open meetings rules.

He has accused the trustees of conducting improper business in closed sessions and even used the Signal messaging app to hide records.

The superior judge has thrown out 2 of his 3 claims including the accusation they destroyed public records.
