RNL enrollment and financial aid models

To Whom It May Concern:

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

1) Copies of the 2021 and 2022 (if available) "Search Analysis" reports prepared by RNL for SUNY Buffalo. To aid with your search for these records, I have attached an example of one of these reports from another university.

I ask that all fees be waived as intend to use the requested records to further public understanding of public agencies and not for any commercial purpose. In the event you choose to impose fees, I request a detailed breakdown of the fees, including the hourly wage of each employee involved and an explanation justifying the employee hours required to fulfill the request.

Should you choose to reject this request or redact portions of responsive documents, I ask that you provide a detailed breakdown of the statutory exemptions and associated case law underlying your decision to withhold each/any portions from public review.

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,

Todd Feathers

Thank you very much, Shannon.

The annual model reports I've seen from RNL for other universities include breakdowns of the model's score by zip code (like the one in the example I attached). Does SUNY Buffalo not maintain records on the scores assigned to each zip code?

Appreciate the help!
