Christina Boyd, assistant professor of political science, is quoted in an Associated Press article about U.S. officials destroying millions of paper federal court records to save storage costs, a move that is being criticized by some historians, private detectives and others who rely on the files. "We need to understand the trends -- and that means looking at files that could be going away," she said. The article appeared in news outlets throughout the nation, including the Albany Times Union, Chicago Tribune, NPR, CBS News, Washington Post and Huffington Post.
