Pima College kicked Loughner our because he was a threat.Arizona RepublicThe Arizona Public Records Law requires that records be “open to inspection by any person at all times” unless officials can prove releasing the information would violate rights of privacy or confidentiality or otherwise harm the best interests of the state…
On Monday, The Republic requested copies of any reports from the Pima County Sheriff’s Department involving contacts with Loughner or calls to his house. Pima County Deputy Rene Carlson said her office would not release the reports without a specific date, though this is not required by state statute.
It is unlikely Loughner's threatening behavior was limited to his time on campus.
It is reasonable to suspect if police were called to Loughner's home that Loughner's behavior was at issue.
It is unreasonable for Dupnik to withhold evidence which would prove or disprove this.
And unlawful.
It leads me to believe Dupnik invented the VITRIOLIC ATMOSPHERE argument to deflect attention from his failures.
It is time he was recalled.

Clearly, Dupnik's office didn't do due diligence on Loughner.
Ugh.
