Former AD email search

Name: Alex Andrejev

Affiliation: The Athletic

Location: UConn Storrs

Request Date Start: 02/01/2012

Request Date End: 03/01/2016

Details: Dear UConn Records Officer,

Pursuant to Connecticut open records laws, I am requesting copies of the following records in electronic format on a rolling basis as they are cleared for release:

— All emails, including attachments, to and from the inboxes of athleticdirector@uconn.edu and warde.manuel@uconn.edu from February 1, 2012, to March 1, 2016, with the following non-case sensitive keywords: “coach” AND “complaint”; “coach” AND “allegation”; “coach” AND “inappropriate”; “coach” AND “investigation”; “coach” AND “reprimand.” Please exclude documents from news aggregators or other similar bulk content services.

This records request is being filed in pursuit of a time-sensitive news story. Therefore, I ask that my request be expedited. I would like these records in electronic format, sent via email or other digital method, and released as they become available.

If you determine that any of the information qualifies for an exemption from disclosure, I ask you to note whether the exemption is discretionary, and if so, whether it is necessary in this case to exercise your discretion to withhold the information.

Also, I am a member of the news media as a journalist for The Athletic, and the requested documents are in the public interest and will not be used for commercial purposes. Therefore, I ask that all fees be waived in the processing of my request. If fees associated with this request will exceed $25, kindly notify me in advance of fulfilling this request.

Thank you in advance for your prompt attention.

Police Escort Spending

Name: David Covucci

Affiliation: FOIAball

Location: UConn Storrs

Request Date Start: 01/01/2025

Request Date End: 12/12/2025

Details: Pursuant to Connecticut's Freedom of Information Act (Chapter 14 Conn. Gen. Stats.), I am requesting the following documents from your athletics department.

Records regarding the total spending by your school’s football team on security and escorts from 1/1/2025 to 12/12/2025.
This includes: local police and sheriff departments, county and state agencies, federal agencies, and independent security contractors.

I am happy to accept a lump sum from whatever data you maintain, if that is easy enough.

If you can not provide that data, I am requesting all invoices you received from local police and sheriff departments, county and state agencies, any federal agencies, and independent security contractors.

While I am asking for documents specifically relating to football, if it is too difficult or time-consuming to parse records and separate out football, I will accept all department spending.

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.

Thank you very much!

David
