Case Status
Active. Targeted public-records and FERPA requests were filed October 2–3, 2025, and preservation notices followed October 6–7. State oversight was requested from the Texas Attorney General's Open Records Division on October 9, 2025. This site is updated as new records and rulings become available.
Purpose & Approach
This hub exists because I was harmed and am seeking resolution through lawful, evidence-based channels. My goals are: (1) correcting the record where it contradicts primary evidence, (2) ensuring due process is followed, and (3) contributing to institutional accountability so this is less likely to happen to others. I welcome scrutiny and correction—see the Corrections page to report errors.
TTUHSC Case Hub¶
A structured repository of primary documents for courts, journalists, and researchers.
The case in one sentence: Kevin Bass, a Ph.D. biomedical scientist, was dismissed from TTUHSC's medical school after public commentary on pandemic policy; he contends the process lacked due process and the official record contradicts primary evidence.
"When the official record contradicts the evidence, the record must be examined."

Why This Matters¶
-
Due Process
The procedures used in this case have implications for how institutions handle student discipline and appeals.
-
Public Records
Texas law requires state institutions to preserve and produce records. In this case, I have used those laws step-by-step—first to request specific records, then to secure preservation, and finally to engage state oversight. The snapshot below shows that path at a glance.
Public Records Snapshot¶
-
Requests filed (October 2–3, 2025) – Targeted Texas Public Information Act (TPIA) and FERPA requests to Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) and Texas Tech University (TTU) for proceedings, transcripts, course materials, and key internal and expert-witness communications.
-
Preservation formalized (October 6–7, 2025) – Broad preservation and follow-up deficiency notices, formally placing relevant emails and files under a duty not to be deleted or altered while disputes are pending.
-
State oversight engaged (October 9, 2025) – Referral of unresolved requests and preservation concerns to the Texas Attorney General's Open Records Division, using the enforcement channels built into Texas public-records law.
-
All of it traceable here – Every request, response, and escalation is logged under TPIA & Records and plotted on the Visual Timeline, so courts, journalists, and researchers can independently verify what happened.

What This Site Does NOT Do
- It does not claim TTUHSC acted with malice (that is for courts to determine)
- It does not ask readers to adopt any conclusion
- It does not publish unverified allegations
- It does not name private individuals beyond what appears in official records
-
Accountability
When official narratives contradict primary evidence, independent review becomes essential.
Overview¶
This hub serves as a centralized repository for primary source documents, evidence, and analysis related to the TTUHSC case. All materials are organized chronologically and thematically to facilitate research and understanding.
This hub exists because of a serious dispute about what happened in Kevin Bass's case. Rather than pursuing private retaliation or informal campaigns, it channels that dispute into a documented, verifiable record that courts, journalists, and researchers can test against neutral standards. Its purpose is to clarify facts and procedures—not to attack individuals.
