Asa Bradman Emails

Dear Mr. Neidenbach:

This is to acknowledge and respond to your California Public Records Act
(CPRA) request below. The University regularly responds to focused and
effective requests that reasonably describe identifiable records relating
to the conduct of the public’s business. Government Code section 6252(e),
6253.1(a).

Your records request, as currently drafted is extremely broad, and
compliance with the request would be unduly burdensome pursuant to
Government Code section 6255. Your request would entail collection and
review of a voluminous number of documents. Please also be aware that
identification and collection of potentially responsive records is only the
first step in the CPRA response process. The collected records must be
reviewed to ensure that they are in fact responsive to your request and to
assess whether they are subject to redaction to protect privacy rights and
consistent with applicable legal privileges and exemptions.

Because we would like to furnish you with a set of information that could
satisfy your needs, we would encourage you to consider narrowing the scope
or nature of the request. Although we cannot compile records in response
to your request as drafted, we would be happy to consider a request that is
more narrowly tailored in terms of time frame and subject matter, including
whose records (for example, the name of person or department) you may be
seeking.

Please let us know how we can assist you in focusing your request.
Regards,

Liane Ko

Public Records Coordinator

Dear Mr. Neidenbach:

This is to acknowledge your California Public Records Act (CPRA) request
below. Your request has been forwarded to appropriate offices and a search
for responsive documents is currently underway. Records identified as
responsive to your request will be reviewed, and made available for your
access, in accordance with relevant law and University policy. The
estimated date of production is at least 8 weeks, which will vary
accordingly due to the nature and complexity of the request.

Please note that there is no central repository for all University records.
The identification and collection of potentially responsive records is only
the first step in the CPRA response process. The collected records must be
reviewed to ensure that they are in fact responsive to your request and to
assess whether they are subject to redaction to protect privacy rights and
consistent with applicable legal privileges and exemptions. Each of the
steps in the process takes time. Please also bear in mind that we are
concurrently fulfilling numerous other requests and many of which were
received before this request.

Although the requested records have not yet been fully identified,
gathered, and reviewed, it is possible that the requested material may
contain information exempt from disclosure under CPRA. However, this is not
a determination that the requested records are necessarily exempt from
disclosure. This office will provide you with a status update after the
requested records have been thoroughly reviewed.

Please note that CPRA allows agencies to make records available “upon
payment of fees covering direct costs of duplication.” Government Code
section 6253(b). The University reserves its right to recoup duplication
costs. The charge is $0.20 per page for copies, and payment is required
before release of the records. Once we obtain an accurate page count, we
will inform you of the anticipated total cost.
