Public Records Request – External Vendor Payments & P-Card
Name: Stephan Hendricks
Affiliation: Perspective Data Science
Location: UConn Storrs
Request Date Start: 07/01/2022
Request Date End: 06/30/2025
Details: I’m seeking machine-readable (CSV or Excel) exports that your offices can readily produce from existing reports or standard queries – no custom programming needed.
1. All external vendor payments made by The University Connecticut
for fiscal years 2023, 2024, and 2025, covering all funding sources. Also include transaction-level P-card (purchasing card) transactions for the same periods, as well as travel and expense spend, including transactions processed through any separate travel, booking, or expense-reimbursement portal or paid as employee reimbursements for travel.
We do not need PDFs, images, receipts, or attachments – just the data exports your systems already produce.
