From: Todd Feathers
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Texas Public Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
1) All university contracts and statements of work with Ruffalo, Noel, Levitz (RNL) since Jan. 1, 2018 for enrollment management and financial aid optimization services.
2) The following documents and reports provided to the university by RNL since Jan. 1, 2018:
- ForecastPlus model reports for each academic year. These reports describe the input variables for the university's ForecastPlus models, the models' performance, and the ForecastPlus scores assigned to each zip code/area/student. For your reference, I've attached an excerpt of one of these reports from another school.
- Class Optimizer and financial aid model reports for each academic year. Like the previous reports, these detail the inputs, outputs, and functions of the financial aid simulation models RNL builds.
- Annual Demand Builder and Econometric modeling reports.
I ask that all fees be waived as intend to use the requested records to further public understanding of public agencies and not for any commercial purpose. In the event you choose to impose fees, I request a detailed breakdown of the fees, including the hourly wage of each employee involved and an explanation justifying the employee hours required to fulfill the request.
Should you choose to reject this request or redact portions of responsive documents, I ask that you provide a detailed breakdown of the statutory exemptions and associated case law underlying your decision to withhold each/any portions from public review.
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 10 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Todd Feathers
