Pursuant to North Carolina Public Records Law (G.S. §§ 132-1 through
132-10), I hereby request the following documents:

Records related to citizen complaints (allegations of misconduct) made
against your agency's officers and officials since January 1, 2013
including but not limited to logs, databases and spreadsheets. If you
determine that any portion or portions of this request cannot be fulfilled
as promptly as any other portion of this request, we ask that you first
fulfill whatever portion of this request you can fulfill within 10 business
days and then fulfill the remainder of the request as promptly as possible.

We are happy to work with your office to make this request as simple as
possible and eliminate unnecessary work. Please contact us before you incur
labor costs or the use of information technology resources beyond those
that you have already established for reproduction of the information
requested. We can probably find an efficient solution that serves the
public interest while minimizing your effort.

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
would request your response within ten (10) business days.

Sincerely,

I write in response to your correspondence dated April 15, 2021, in which you wrote seeking copies of records of Appalachian State University.  This response is being provided to you in accordance with the North Carolina Public Records Act. You requested the following: "Records related to citizen complaints (allegations of misconduct) made against your agency's officers and officials since January 1, 2013 including but not limited to logs, databases and spreadsheets." We regret that we are not able to provide you with the documents you are seeking because these records are exempt from disclosure under applicable federal or State law.  The information requested would fall under NCGS 126-24, which is to be treated as confidential.
