FOI #26-550 - Subject - Freedom of Information Act request

Name - Daniel Serrano

Affiliation -

Pursuant to the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act, Conn. Gen. Stat. §1-200 et seq. (and §1-210(a)), I request copies of the following public records of the University of Connecticut — including the Storrs campus, the regional campuses, and UConn Health — for all fiscal years for which records are retained (at a minimum fiscal year 2012 through the present). Because the University's purchasing runs through its own financial systems rather than Core-CT, I am directing this request to the University rather than to a central state agency.

PART 1 — Purchase-order / invoice line-item detail:
A report or export of all purchase-order and invoice LINE ITEMS for purchases of supplies, materials, and commodities, LIMITED to cleaning, sanitation, maintenance, and chemical-consumable purchases — specifically these expense/commodity categories (or the University's equivalent classifications): premises/custodial cleaning supplies; personal hygiene supplies; laundry and cleaning supplies; building and grounds maintenance supplies (cleaning, degreasing, solvent, lubricant, paint/coating, and adhesive chemical products only); grounds, turf, and pest-control chemical products; laboratory supplies and medical supplies (chemical products and reagents only); de-icing and winter chemicals (including calcium chloride, sodium acetate, and snow/ice removal supplies); and any other category under which the University purchases cleaning, sanitation, disinfecting, degreasing, de-icing, pest-control, or laboratory chemical products.

For each line, please include: product/item description, manufacturer or brand, catalog/SKU/part number, quantity, unit of measure, unit price, extended (line) price, vendor, purchase-order number, and order/invoice date. A spreadsheet export from the University's financial system (CSV or Excel) is acceptable and preferred. If the full period cannot be produced at once, I ask that you produce it in installments (by fiscal year, most recent first) rather than narrowing the request.

PART 2 — Hazardous chemical inventory (OSHA Hazard Communication):
The current list/inventory of hazardous chemicals maintained under the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200(e)) for University facilities — custodial, maintenance, grounds, fleet, and (where applicable) laboratory and clinical operations — and/or the index or table of contents of the facility Safety Data Sheet (SDS) libraries, showing product name and manufacturer for each entry (list/index only; not the full SDS documents).


FOI #26-549 (08-27-26, 10:32 am) - Subject - Public Records Request - University of Connecticut (all campuses)

Name - Frank Patterson

Affiliation -

I am contacting you in regard to a public records/information request.

I am looking for an up-to-date list of your current employees, full names, hire date, phone numbers, e-mail address, and salary, if possible, in digital format (excel preferred). I prefer to receive these documents via e-mail at requests@academyresearchgroup.com

I understand this is a relatively recent request and would like to clarify that my request is limited specifically to newly hired full-time employees since March 2026.

I am ONLY seeking public information that is clearly disclosable to me and not confidential by law, or otherwise protected, and exempted from disclosure under state law.

I understand there may be a cost associated with retrieving and copying these documents. Please provide me with an estimated list of fees if so and contact me if you have any questions or concerns about this request. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.


FOI #26-548 - Subject - Athletics Request

Name - Min Oh

Affiliation -

Part 1: Employment Contracts and Salaries
o Pursuant to applicable authority, I am writing to request copies of the complete written employment agreement or other written document establishing the currently effective employment terms for each athletic department staff member listed below. Please include, at minimum, the applicable original, fully executed base agreement and all amendments, addenda, extensions, appointment letters, offer letters, or similar records. The records provided should show the staff member's annual compensation and start/end dates of employment. If an existing agreement remains in effect but compensation has changed, please provide both the continuing agreement and the amendment, salary record, or other document showing the updated compensation. A salary record alone does not satisfy this request when a written employment agreement, appointment letter, offer letter, or similar written record exists. Only when no written employment agreement, appointment letter, offer letter, or similar written record establishing employment terms exists for a listed staff member should salary documentation be provided instead; in that circumstance, please provide current salary documentation and, if maintained, the staff member's start/end dates of employment.

FOI #26-544 (08-24-26, 5:30 pm) - Subject - Inquiry Historical Presidential Search Records

Name - Zerin Dong

Affiliation - University of California, Merced

Dear Public Records Office,

My name is Zerin Dong, and I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the University of California, Merced, conducting academic research on university leadership and the historical evolution of research universities in the United States.

I am writing to inquire about records related to the following University of Connecticut presidential transitions:

- Albert N. Jorgensen (1935)
- Homer D. Babbidge (1962)
- Glenn W. Ferguson (1973)
- John A. DiBiaggio (1979)
- John T. Casteen III (1985)
- Harry J. Hartley (1990)
- Philip E. Austin (1996)
- Michael Hogan (2007)
- Susan Herbst (2011)
- Thomas C. Katsouleas (2019)
- Andrew Agwunobi (2022, interim)
- Radenka Maric (2022)

Specifically, I am interested in:

1. Whether any of these searches resulted in publicly releasable records naming more than one finalist or candidate under serious consideration.
2. If finalist names are available, whether biographical information is also available (each candidate's academic field, title and institution) — a shorter document such as a press release or Board of Trustees announcement would work just as well as a full CV if that's easier for your office to produce.

I'm happy to narrow this request by specific year if that would help your office respond efficiently, and I understand if some or all of this information is not available for the older searches. Please let me know if there are any costs associated with fulfilling this request before proceeding.

Thank you for your time and assistance! Please feel free to contact me at zdong12@ucmerced.edu with any questions.

Best regards,

Zerin
