Details: Pursuant to Connecticut's Freedom of Information Act (Chapter 14 Conn. Gen. Stats.), I am requesting the following document from your athletics department. If it can be sorted solely by the football program, that is great, too, but not necessary.

A spreadsheet or screenshot of the most current or recent list of terms monitored/maintained by the university’s athletics department to measure fan sentiment or discourse online by any social media monitoring firm the department utilizes (such as but not limited to: Meltwater, Hootsuite, Reputation, Critical Mention, Zoomph, Ferretly, etc.)

Please note that Connecticut law requires public agencies to respond to requests within four days of receiving them by either processing or denying the request, or providing written notice requesting an extension.

As I am an independent journalist engaged in legitimate newsgathering, I am requesting a fee waiver of any associated costs with this request. In lieu of a fee waiver, I am requesting a detailed invoice of any potential costs, if any, associated with this request.

Thanks,
David
