Dear Forest Gregg,

I am writing in response to your Freedom of Information Act request
directed to the University Of Michigan Division Of Public Safety And
Security dated April 9, 2024, which was received on April 10, 2024.

You requested:

All records, including memoranda, policies, procedures, communications,
legal opinions, training modules, directives, guidelines, and
correspondence (including over e-mail) related to any electronic data
collected, captured, recorded, retained, processed, intercepted, analyzed,
or shared by surveillance/monitoring tools involving social media platforms.

In consideration of the information above, we seek all records that
contain, constitute, or reference agreements, contracts, and communications
with outside agencies and private companies regarding social media
monitoring , including but not limited to Memoranda of Understanding,
Statements of Work, and Purchase Orders.

We also seek records that contain, constitute, or reference training
materials, guidance or modules for any social media monitoring tools, or
that contain, constitute, or reference the testing or evaluation of social
media monitoring tools, including but not limited to market surveys of
vendors of social media analytical tools, and qualitative and quantitative
assessments of the capabilities provided by various tools.

The time frame for which we are seeking records is from January 2016
through July 2018.

This request is overly broad and, pursuant to Section 3 (1) of the Michigan
Freedom of Information Act does not describe a "public record sufficiently
to enable the public body to find the public record..." There is no
mechanism for performing a global search of University records in order to
identify all records that relate to or reference broad topics. Please
identify or describe specifically the records you are seeking by providing
the names of the employees and/or offices whose records you are seeking,
the names of relevant vendors, and the nature of the records you are
seeking. If there are any search terms or phrases you would like us to use
in the search for records, please let us know.

Upon receipt of additional information that will enable us to find
responsive records, we will be happy to proceed with processing a revised
request.

Sincerely,
