-Any and all emails, chat messages, or other notes from members of the university that mentions "Isaiah Kelly" from between 10/1/2019 and the time this request is processed.

-Any and all communications between university staff and employees of Twitter.

These documents will be used by VICE Media in the course of news gathering and journalism in the public service. They will be used to inform reporting for www.vice.com, an international media organization.

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.

I believe we have records which fall into the criteria indicated below,
however, we are having difficulty producing the record electronically. I
have been meeting with our IT department and I believe we may have a
fix.  If so, I'll be able to respond within a week.

Thanks

Thanks

SUNY Geneseo acknowledges its receipt of the subject request.  At this
time however, we anticipate a substantial delay in processing the
request due to the College's urgent and ongoing effort to respond to the
COVID-19 public health emergency, including the required on-site
staffing reductions to reduce the spread of infection.  Please be
assured that we will respond to your request as soon as reasonably
possible and it will be preserved in queue, therefore, you will not be
required to follow-up or re-submit.  We sincerely appreciate your
patience and understanding in these evolving circumstances.

Just prior to the campus shutdown we were having trouble retrieving the
records in a manner that they could be reviewed as appropriate.

Thanks

Thanks
