Details: To Whom It May Concern,

Pursuant to the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act (Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 1-200 et seq.), I am requesting access to records concerning academic program funding reductions and administrative compensation changes at the University of Connecticut for the fiscal years 2022 through 2025.

Specifically, I am requesting:

A comprehensive list of academic programs, departments, or schools that experienced budget reductions or resource reallocations during the period from January 1, 2022 through April 30, 2025. This should include the magnitude of reductions (in dollars or percentage), staffing impacts (e.g., layoffs, hiring freezes), and documentation of internal justification or rationale (e.g., memos, emails, meeting minutes).

Records documenting any raises, bonuses, or newly created leadership positions for non-academic university administration during the same timeframe. Please include:

Base salary increases

Incentive-based or performance bonuses

Administrative expansions (e.g., new VP or director-level hires)

Any internal planning documents, memos, or meeting minutes discussing the trade-offs or reallocation of funds between academic and administrative units.

I request that these documents be provided in digital format. If any records are withheld or redacted, please cite the statutory exemption under Connecticut law and provide the procedures for appeal.

Given the substantial public interest in institutional priorities and educational access, I respectfully request that all fees associated with this request be waived.

Thank you for your cooperation. I look forward to your timely response in accordance with the statutory timeline.
