Details: Subject: FOIA Request for Immediate Release of Records Regarding CAPS Program Withdrawal Urgent and Good Faith Request

Dear FOIA Officer,

I write to you in good faith and with urgency under the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act to formally request full disclosure of all records, communications, and documents pertaining to the CAPS program withdrawal processes and any related administrative actions at the University of Connecticut.

This request specifically covers the period from June 20, 2025, to the present date and includes but is not limited to:
• All emails, memos, internal and external correspondence involving CAPS program staff, university administrators, and any other relevant parties concerning student withdrawals, dismissals, or pressures to withdraw from the CAPS program.
• Official policies, guidelines, and decisions related to CAPS withdrawal procedures during this timeframe.
• Minutes, notes, or recordings from meetings or discussions addressing the oversight, management, or disciplinary actions concerning CAPS participants.
• Any documentation reflecting delays, deflections, or disrespectful handling of withdrawal requests or student concerns within the CAPS program.

As a committed student who wishes to continue my education at UConn, I believe transparency and accountability in this matter are essential for safeguarding student rights and fostering an equitable academic environment.

Given the serious implications this matter has on student rights, institutional accountability, and public trust, I expect a full and transparent response. If any portion of this request is denied or withheld, please provide a detailed justification citing the specific statutory exemptions under the FOIA.

I am prepared to cover any reasonable fees associated with processing this request, but please notify me in advance if such fees will exceed $50.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this important matter. I anticipate your response within the legally required timeframe and trust that the University will honor its commitment to transparency and accountability.
