To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Florida Sunshine Law, I hereby request the following records:
1. A copy of any guidance, information, or policies distributed by Florida International University's administration, the State of Florida, or any other governmental authority to faculty or staff concerning House Bill 7 or Fla. Stat. § 1000.05(4). This request is limited to records generated on or after January 1, 2022.
This request is part of a survey being conducted of every public university or college in Florida. Please note that this request does not seek a search of faculty or student email accounts or records. These requests should in no way be construed to include a review or search of email accounts, websites, or other forms of data or document retention which are controlled by students, alumni, or faculty members, nor by governmental or advisory bodies controlled by the same, except insofar as any such individuals also serve in an administrative capacity and the records were created or are held by the individual in that capacity. Any search should be limited to documents held by the administration and/or its staff members, including records created or maintained by persons acting in the capacity of administrators or staff members.
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 10 business days.
Sincerely,
Adam Steinbaugh

Florida International University (FIU) is subject to the State of Florida’s public records law under Chapter 119, F.S., which provides that any records made or received by any public agency in the course of its official business are available for inspection, unless specifically exempted by the Florida Statutes and/or other applicable federal laws.
From: Florida International University
Good afternoon,
In response to your request for public records below, Section 119.07(4)(d) of the Florida Statutes specifically provides in pertinent part:
If the nature or volume of public records requested to be inspected or copied pursuant to this subsection is such as to require extensive use of information technology resources or extensive clerical or supervisory assistance by personnel of the agency involved, or both, the agency may charge, in addition to the actual cost of duplication, a special service charge, which shall be reasonable and shall be based on the cost incurred for such extensive use of information technology resources or the labor cost of the personnel providing the service that is actually incurred by the agency or attributable to the agency for the clerical and supervisory assistance required, or both.
Our estimate of the costs in personnel time involved to gather and review the documents for public records exemptions (if any) responsive to your request follows:
Invoice for estimate:
Personnel Services:
4 hours/IT @ $33.28 = $133.12
42 hours/Legal @ $54.10 = $2,272.20
Duplicating services:
Approximately ___ pages @ $.15 per page = $TBD
Total amount due = $2,405.32
The Florida Public Records Act authorizes the University to charge .15 cents per copy and a reasonable service charge for the costs incurred due to the extensive personnel time required to gather and produce the records. Our estimate of the costs in personnel time involved in responding to your requests is above. As an alternative, if you want to narrow your search, the estimate would likely be less. Please be advised that we follow the Governor’s guidelines as to when and how much we charge when faced with a voluminous public records request.

Upon receipt of payment, the University will gather, review and provide non-exempt records to you. Please make the check payable to "The Florida International University Board of Trustees" and remit it to our office so that we can proceed with your request. Lastly, you should be aware that if a requesting party fails to respond to inquiries for clarification, cost estimates, or any other communication from the University for 30 days, the request will be closed.
Thank you and have a nice day.
