From: Lori Hill
Dear Mr. Rudenberg:
Thank you for your email dated March 9, 2016.
Under the Delaware Freedom of Information Act, University documents are
public records only if they relate to the expenditure of public funds.
29 *Del.
C.*§10002(d). Public funds are "those funds derived from the State or any
political subdivision of the State." 29 *Del. C. *§10002(k). The records
you seek do not relate to the expenditure of public funds and, as a result,
are not public records. The University, therefore, respectfully declines
your records request.
Sincerely,
Lori Hill
