University of Maryland College Park 2021 Student Info

Dear Mr. Slemp:

Your request has been reviewed in accordance with Maryland’s
Access to Public Records Act, codified at Section 4-101 *et seq.* of the
General Provisions Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland (the “Act.”)

The University is denying your request. Pursuant to Section
4-355 of the Act, the University of Maryland may deny inspection and
disclosure of the part of the record containing the personal information of
a student, former student, or applicant, if the information is requested
for commercial and/or solicitation purpose. Further, a request for student
mailing addresses, including phone numbers and email addresses, would be
denied under 4-330.

Should you disagree with this finding, you have remedial options available.
First, you may seek judicial review of this decision in accordance with GP
Section 4-362. Second, you may seek assistance from the Public Access
Ombudsperson under GP Section 4-1B-01 *et. seq.*

No fees were assessed to process your request. The University
will close its file on your inquiry.

Sincerely,

Laura Anderson Wright
