Request Date Start: Withheld.

Request Date End: Withheld.

Details: This is a request to the University of Connecticut (UConn) under the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act (the FOIA), C.G.S. Section 1-200, et. seq. Connecticut Public and I hereby request that UConn make available for inspection and provide copies of the following the following categories of records with regard to Martin Kulldorff’s employment with the university:

Employee Personnel File
Performance Evaluation Records
Grievance and Arbitration Records
Applications for Employment
Disciplinary Records
Personnel Action Records

For reference, Mr. Kulldorff was an associate professor/basic science in what used to be named the department of Community Medicine and Health Care (now called Public Health Sciences). He was employed at UConn from Sept. 28, 1998 through Aug. 31, 2003.

Please provide the records in electronic form by email. As you know, the FOIA provides that if portion(s) of a record are exempt from disclosure, the remainder of the record still must be disclosed. To the extent that UConn claims that any record or a portion of any record is exempt from disclosure, please provide the basis for this position including the specific exemption(s) upon which it relies.

We are making this request for purposes of newsgathering and reporting about a subject that is of public interest and important to the citizens of Connecticut. Disclosure of this information therefore is in the public interest and benefits the general welfare, and we request that all fees be waived pursuant to the FOIA, Section 1-212(d)(3). In the event that you deny this request for fee waiver, we reserve the right to appeal such denial, but in the meantime we request that you advise us of the fee you consider reasonable.

If you have any questions or need any additional information, I would appreciate your contacting me by telephone or e-mail as I am making this request in my capacity as a news reporter and the information is of timely value. I look forward to hearing from you promptly.
