Does your request include a list of names and addresses?: No

This e-mail was sent to requests@muckrock.com by Indiana University. Learn why we are including this: go.iu.edu/emailsafety

Please find attached the responsive documents to your request. Some records
were redacted because they contain trade secrets pursuant to I.C. Sec.
5-14-3-4(a)(4). We also follow the opinion from Indiana's Public Access
Counselor, 18-FC-77, https://www.in.gov/pac/advisory/files/18-FC-77.pdf,
which discusses the release of the overall contract price (versus unit
price): ".[T]he per-unit pricing may indeed carry with it some level of
secrecy. To the extent it does, the per-unit price can be withheld, but not
the entirety of a bill." I am the person that made the decision to redact
some of the attached documents and my contact information is below. Indiana
University considers this request closed. Thank you. Frank
