FOI #25-477 (11-8-25, 4:32 pm) - Subject - CT FOIA request: NIL compliance memos/guidance provided to UConn student-athletes (Jan 1, 2024–present)

Name - Baala Shakya

Affiliation -

Dear Records Officer,

Pursuant to the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act, Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 1-200 et seq., I request access to the following public records:

Records requested: Any current NIL compliance memos or guidance documents that UConn Athletics (including the Office of Athletic Compliance) has circulated to student-athletes between January 1, 2024 and the present.

This includes, but is not limited to: written memos, one-pagers, slide decks, policy summaries, FAQs, “do/don’t” lists, training handouts, team-rule addenda, and “NIL Education” materials distributed to athletes.

Please include attachments distributed with those materials (e.g., PDF handouts appended to a memo) and the cover communications used to distribute those materials to student-athletes in the same period (subject lines + attached documents are sufficient). For clarity, this means the email or platform post that carried the memo/guidance, limited to the date, sender, recipient list name (e.g., “All Student-Athletes,” “Football Roster 2024”), subject, and the attached files. The body text is requested only if it contains substantive NIL instructions not duplicated in the attachment.

Please search the Office of Athletic Compliance and any Athletics administrator responsible for NIL education/compliance; Team distribution lists managed by Compliance for Football and Men’s Basketball (primary); Materials posted or sent to student-athletes via Teamworks, INFLCR, Opendorse, or similar athlete communication/education platforms used by UConn. If practical, please prioritize records labeled or tagged with: “NIL,” “name/image/likeness,” “extra benefits,” “booster/collective,” “prohibited categories,” “gambling,” “alcohol,” “adult/sexual,” “tobacco,” “endorsement,” “autograph/signing,” “appearance,” “use of marks/logos,” “disclosure,” “agent,” “pay-for-play,” “academic misconduct,” “conflict with team activities,” “facility use,” “international/visa.”

Format & delivery: Electronic records only, delivered via email or a downloadable link. If any portion is withheld, please provide the specific statutory exemption(s) and release all reasonably segregable portions.

I request a waiver of fees. The records concern the public interest in understanding how a public university instructs student-athletes on NIL compliance and what categories of deals or conduct are deemed off-limits. Disclosure will contribute to public knowledge and is not primarily for commercial purposes. If fees are anticipated, please advise before incurring any costs.

Narrowing (if needed) If you foresee undue burden, I am willing to narrow in this order: Limit to Football and Men’s Basketball only; Limit to Office of Athletic Compliance as the sole custodian; Limit to final/current versions of guidance in effect as of the request date.

FOI #25-470 (11-4-25, 4:26 pm) - Subject - Admissions and Performance Data

Name - Thomas Jones

Affiliation -

Recently in FOI 25-130 the university provided race, MCAT, GPA, Matriculation, and Acceptance data and provided it with a de-identified unique identifier for each applicant.

This request asks for similar data, including the initial data provided in 25-130, but including additional fields. Specifically the fields requested are:

Unique Individual ID | AMCAS Year of Application | Self-Identified Race-Ethnicity Category | Total Undergraduate GPA | Most Recent MCAT2015 Score | Acceptance Indicator | Matriculation Indicator | USMLE Step One Outcome (P/F) - First Attempt | USMLE Step Two Score - First Attempt | Clerkship Grade - Internal Medicine | Clerkship Grade - Surgery | Clerkship Grade - OB/GYN | Clerkship Grade - Family Medicine | Clerkship Grade - Psychiatry | Clerkship Grade - Neurology | Clerkship Grade - Ambulatory Pediatrics | Clerkship Grade - Inpatient Pediatrics | Clerkship Grade - Ambulatory Medicine | Clerkship Grade - Inpatient Medicine

As was provided in the previous request we are requesting that you include the same Unique Identifier that you included in the production from 25-130.

We are only requesting data on matriculants from the class that entered in 2016 through the most recent class for which there is any data in the USMLE related fields.

We would note that the provision of this information is vital for the public's understanding of the performance of applicants admitted under race conscious admissions policies. We would highlight scholarly reports which utilized similar data to that which we are requesting, specifically, "Signatures of medical student applicants and academic success", Tal Baron,Robert I. Grossman,Steven B. Abramson,Martin V. Pusic,Rafael Rivera,Marc M. Triola,Itai Yanai
Published: January 15, 2020 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0227108, which analyzed a similarly deidentified, albeit larger, dataset.

As you did in the production of 25-130, we would agree to the redaction of race identifies for small groups that would allow the reidentification of individuals.

We have a XLS file that details the fields we are requesting that we can provide when you reply to and acknowledge this request.
