To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the New York Freedom of Information Law, I hereby request the following records:

Dear Records Access Officer,

I am writing to request records under the New York State Freedom of Information Law (FOIL), Article 6 of the Public Officers Law.

Specifically, I am seeking all communications, including but not limited to emails, letters, and memos, between Joyce Moy, Executive Director of the Asian American/Asian Research Institute at the City University of New York and any or all of the following parties:

1. Elizabeth R. Berlin, Executive Deputy Commissioner of the New York State Education Department
2. Phyllis D. Morris, Chief Financial Officer of the New York State Education Department

Please note that email metadata, such as sender, recipient, date, and subject line, is considered responsive factual data and should be included in the disclosure, even if the content of the communications is exempt.

As per the advisory opinions FOIL-AO-19160, FOIL-AO-18321, and FOIL-AO-17725, even if the content of certain communications is exempt from disclosure under POL ยง87(2)(g), the factual information about the communication itself, such as the sender, recipient, date, and subject line, should still be disclosed. This metadata does not typically contain deliberative or advisory content, but rather factual information about the communication itself. Therefore, I request that this factual information be disclosed in response to my FOIL request, even if the content of the communications is exempt.

If any record has been denied in whole or in part, please justify all deletions by reference to specific exemptions of the law. I expect the request to be filled within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Thank you for your assistance with this matter.

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 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Jackson Parker
