To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Georgia Open Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
1) All documentation since Jan. 1, 2017 of the university's contracts with Ruffalo, Noel, Levitz (RNL) for the firm's Demand Builder, Applicant Cultivator, ForecastPlus, and/or Student Search Predictive Analytics services. Specifically, this should include contracts, statements of work, successful RFP response packages, sole source agreements, and data privacy agreements.
2) All model workbooks for the university's Demand Builder, Applicant Cultivator, ForecastPlus, and/or Student Search Predictive Analytics models. These workbooks, which RNL provides in Excel or other spreadsheet format, contain the model(s)' glossary of variables, market summaries, and model scores and results, among other information. If it would aid in your search, I can provide an example of an RNL model workbook.
3) All plans and reports prepared by the university enrollment staff or RNL since Jan. 1, 2017 regarding the university's use of the Demand Builder, Applicant Cultivator, ForecastPlus, and/or Student Search Predictive Analytics model results. This includes, but is not limited to, plans and reports describing the university's use of model scores to inform student list purchases, targeted communication campaigns, and/or recruiting trips.
4) All end-year conversion reports prepared for the university by RNL since Jan. 1, 2017. If it would aid in your search, I can provide an example of an RNL end-year conversion report.
5) All prospect analysis reports prepared for the university by RNL since Jan. 1, 2017. If it would aid in your search, I can provide an example of an RNL end-year conversion report.
I ask that all fees be waived as intend to use the requested records to further public understanding of public agencies.
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 3 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Todd Feathers

Mr. Feathers:
This message responds to your Open Records Act (ORA) requests received on November 28, 2022 and November 29, 2022. Both requests asked for the same information. We are reviewing our records to locate documents responsive to your requests. Pursuant to O.C.G.A. Section 50-18-71(c)(1), the ORA allows for reasonable charges for the "search, retrieval, redaction and production" to satisfy a records request. This fee, as an hourly rate, shall not exceed the salary of the lowest paid full-time employee qualified (i.e., with the necessary skill and training) to carry out the request. Additionally, O.C.G.A. Section 50-18-71(c) (2) allows agencies to charge $.10 per page for copies. We will attempt to produce the documents electronically. We anticipate providing you with the requested records or a cost estimate by December 15, 2022.
Please be advised that the records may exclude information exempt by the ORA. These exemptions, as applicable, may include, but are not limited to social security numbers, private (home) telephone and cell numbers, day and month of birth, and private (home) location information of personnel, medical information, information of a proprietary nature, and information specifically required by federal statute or regulation to be kept confidential. See O.C.G.A. Sections 50-18-72(a) (1), (2), (20), (21), (35), and (37).
