FOI #23-275 (05-30-23, 7:47 pm) - Subject - Care Team Referral Records

Name - Bowen Cho

Affiliation - Neurodivergent-U

Dear Public Records Officer:

Under the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). C.G.S. § 1-200, et seq., I am writing to request the following public records:

Records of all Care Team Referral Forms and Community Standards Referral Forms submitted to the Office of Student Care and Concern between January 1, 2022 and January 1, 2023. I am requesting records of the initial reports filed (with appropriate redactions to remove personally identifying information), and the reported outcomes of each case (e.g. disciplinary or other administrative actions).

I request that all these documents be provided electronically in their original formats rather than in a physical format such as paper.

These records are in the public interest, because they deal with student and resident public safety. Should you find that these records are not in the public interest and decide to impose a fee, I request that you justify this decision, and itemize each charge in writing if the cost exceeds $20. However, I would also like to request a waiver of all fees in that the disclosure of the requested information is in the public interest and will contribute significantly to the public’s understanding of mental health on college campuses.

I am a researcher and a fellow with the Longmore Institute on Disability at San Francisco State University. This information is not being sought for commercial purposes.

If you deny any or all of this request, please cite each specific exemption you feel justifies the refusal to release the information and notify me of the appeal procedures available to me under the law. If you determine that a public record contains information which is subject to access as well as information which is not subject to access (e.g. protected information under FERPA), the law prohibits denying access to the record if the information which is not subject to access is able to be redacted.

Thank you for considering my request.

Sincerely,

Bowen Cho
631-418-4123

FOI #23-270 (05-25-23, 8:57 am) - Subject - Third-Party Servicer Contracts for Online/Distance Education Services

Name - Heather Turner

Affiliation - University of Louisville

We are requesting an opportunity to inspect or obtain copies of public records of pending or executed university contracts in which the university or a unit within the university contracts with third party servicers for services related to online/distance education.

Often referenced as online program managers (OPMs), we are particularly interested in contracts in which the third party servicer delivers; consults; partners; packages; or supports operations, academic content, or enrollment related activities of the university’s online/distance education programming. These contracts for third party services include vendor/provider offering services related to online/distance education including, but not limited to, academic programming, academic partnerships for online learning, marketing/market analysis and recruitment, student enrollment and retention services, student support services, consultation, and performance. These contracts may be in the form of fee-for-service, bundled package pricing, or revenue share agreements. We are requesting all pending or executed contracts between 2013 and 2023.

If there are any fees for searching or copying these records, please inform us if the cost will exceed $20. However, we would also like to request a waiver of all fees in that the disclosure of the requested information is in the public interest and will contribute significantly to the public’s understanding of third party servicers’ roles in higher education, as we are researchers with the University of Louisville and records will be used for research purposes. Specifically, we are conducting a multi-institutional analysis of OPM contracts. Thus, this information is not being sought for commercial purposes.

Please respond to this request in a reasonable time period. If access to the records we are requesting will take longer, please contact us with information about when we might expect copies or the ability to inspect the requested records. If you deny any or all of this request, please cite each specific exemption you feel justifies the refusal to release the information and notify us of the appeal procedures available to us under the law.
