Intersection Camera Footage

Name: Student Student

Affiliation: Student at University of Connecticut

Location: UConn Storrs

Request Date Start: 04/26/2023

Request Date End: 04/26/2023

Details: I am requesting camera footage of the intersection between Storrs Rd. and North Eagleville road, right outside of of Storrs Congregational Church. I was involved in an accident in the middle of that intersection on 04/26/2023 and police said they were able to review the camera footage and saw it was clearly not my fault. I was wondering If I would be able to obtain the camera footage from when the accident happened that day, which would be around 9:00am (I’d give it the time stamp of somewhere between 8:55am and 9:10am), to have in my hands for insurance reasons to prove it wasn’t my fault. If this is not under UConn’s jurisdiction, I would appreciate information on who I should contact regarding obtaining this footage. Thank you!

WSJ public record request for board expense records

Location: UConn Storrs

Request Date Start: 01/01/2016

Request Date End: 03/31/2022

Details: Under state public records laws, I would like to request a copy of all expense reimbursements and payments made with university funds for members of the University of Connecticut board of trustees from January 2016 through March 2023.

I am seeking details of payments and reimbursements for items including but not limited to travel, dining and entertainment, from both individual board members and for items that benefited the entire board (costs of a board retreat, for instance). I am seeking details of payments and reimbursements made specifically from university accounts, not outside foundations or associations.

I would request that the information be released electronically, and am fine accepting it in batches by year if some years are more easily accessible than others. I would also request that any fees associated with this inquiry be waived, as I am a member of the news media and this information is newsworthy to the public.

Thank you,
Melissa
