Florida Atlantic 2021

Good morning,

I noticed in your request that you are seeking student email addresses. Please be advised that student emails are not included in FAU's directory information and are protected by FERPA, Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99), a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. Pursuant to FERPA, FAU may only disclose students' Directory Information. For a complete list of personal identifiable information that FAU has designated as Directory Information, please see University Regulation 4.008<http://www.fau.edu/regulations/chapter4/Reg%204.008%203-2014.pdf>, which can be viewed at http://www.fau.edu/regulations/chapter4/Reg%204.008%203-2014.pdf.

Please let me know if you would like to amend your request to add information from FAU's designated list of personal identifiable information or if you would like to withdraw the request.

Good morning,

This will confirm that your public records request for information has been received, acknowledged, and is being forwarded to the appropriate custodian(s) of records for further processing, including to determine whether such documents exist, and if so, the location at which the documents can be accessed.
Should the completion of your request involve duplication costs, FAU will provide an itemized estimate thereof. Should your request necessitate an extensive use of information technology resources, an extensive clerical or supervisory assistance, or both, the itemized estimate will also include any such special service charge(s). FAU will furnish the requested copies upon receipt of payment of such fee(s) prescribed by law and reflected on an itemized estimate. Please note that FAU follows Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' Cost Recovery Policy, which can be viewed at www.flgov.com/cost-recovery-program/<http://www.flgov.com/cost-recovery-program/>.
Regarding the format of your request, please note that, generally, FAU must provide a copy of the record in the medium requested if FAU maintains the record in that medium, and FAU may charge a fee which shall be in accordance with Ch. 119, F.S. Section 119.01(2)(f). FAU is not ordinarily required to reformat its records and provide them in a particular form as demanded by the requestor.
FAU is committed to responding to all public records requests promptly and within a reasonable period. What constitutes a reasonable period of time may depend upon various factors, such as:
* the format, nature, and/or volume of the requested record(s);
* whether a request calls for the release of exempt and/or confidential information, wholly or in part;
* whether the requested records require redactions of exempt or confidential information;
* whether the extensive use of information technology resources or clerical services will be required;
* whether a request calls for records in the custody of multiple custodians of records, namely, different FAU departments or offices.
FAU is dedicated to a policy of openness, honesty, and cooperation. Furthermore, FAU adheres to all applicable state and federal laws and regulations governing public records, which define the parameters of legal access to information. In order to properly respond to your request, Media Relations may work with the General Counsel's Office to identify and redact/exclude any exempt and/or confidential information, and to ensure that all applicable state and federal laws and regulations are followed.
Should you have any questions or concerns related to this request, please email publicrecords@fau.edu<javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','publicrecords@fau.edu');> and reference PRR 21-249.

As mentioned in my emails of 9/8/2021 and 9/23/2021, please be advised that student emails are not included in FAU's directory information and are protected by FERPA, Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99), a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records.
