Dear Anne Marie Tamburro,

Bellevue College received your public records request on 6/2/2023 for the following:

To Whom It May Concern: Pursuant to the Washington Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records: 1. Any policy, guidance, handbook, manual, or standard contract concerning the institution’s interactions or relationship with members of the news media, reporters, or journalists, including student journalists. 2. Any policy, guidance, handbook, or manual concerning the interactions or communications of institutional employees, including faculty, administrators, staff, and student employees, with the news media, reporters, or journalists, including student journalists. Please note that this request does not seek a search of faculty or student email accounts or records. These requests should in no way be construed to include a review or search of email accounts, websites, or other forms of data or document retention which are controlled by students, alumni, or faculty members, nor by governmental or advisory bodies controlled by the same, except insofar as any such individuals also serve in an administrative capacity and the records were created or are held by the individual in that capacity. Any search should be limited to documents held by the administration and/or its staff members, including records created or maintained by persons acting in the capacity of administrators or staff members. This request is made on behalf of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization that aims to defend and sustain the individual rights of all Americans to free speech and free thought. This request concerns a matter of public interest. The records are sought for the purpose of researching and educating the public about policies affecting student journalists' ability to engage in news gathering and reporting on college and university campuses. The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes. In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not. Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that we need to adjust our original time estimate for responding to your Public Records Request Number 2023-57. We had originally estimated that records would be available on or before July 25, 2023 and partial records are available. However, we need additional time to search for other records.

Initial records responsive to your request have been posted on our secure website and may be retrieved for fourteen (14) days using this link: Request Number: 2023-57.

Pursuant to RCW 42.56.120 Bellevue College charges for the transmission of records. Please note that the fee for responsive records for this request has been waived as the total cost is less than $1.00, as is our practice.

You can expect further response from the agency on or before 8/8/2023.
