Documents regarding Lee C. Bollinger's house party (UMich)

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to Michigan's Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA"), I hereby request the following records:

Any and all memos, emails, reports, or other documents related to a party November 8, 1997. The party took place in then-University of Michigan president Lee C. Bollinger.

The Michigan Daily reported:

"Nov. 8, 1997 was like any other football Saturday. Fans huddled around televisions and rallied as Michigan went on to defeat then undefeated Penn State. Of course, the victory was not unusual — what was unusual was what followed.

Then-University President Lee Bollinger was sitting in his bedroom watching the Michigan-Penn State game on television with his wife when more than 1,000 students gathered outside the President’s House and began chanting Bollinger’s name. As the crowd grew rowdier, instead of turning them away or calling University Police, Bollinger opened the front door and invited the students in.

“You can stay here as long as you want and come inside,” Bollinger said as he welcomed students into the house on South University Avenue, according to Michigan Daily reports."

News of the party is published in these places:

I seek any documents held by the President's Office, Department of Public Safety, University Police, or any other university department with responsive documents.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, 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 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Conor Skelding

Patricia,

Sorry to bother, but to clarify: I had two requests pending with the University. We received one response today, postmarked Jan. 7--that was for the processing notes on FOIA Request SKE 0430-13. That arrived today.

The response to this separate request was also postmarked the 7th?

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Conor Skelding
