Good afternoon.
In order to inspect or copy a public record, the specific record must be identified by the person requesting the document. Courts in addressing this issue have held that "agencies are required to disclose only 'identifiable' governmental records not otherwise exempt. Wholesale requests for general information to be analyzed, collected and compiled by the responding government entity are not encompassed therein." See e.g., Hodai v. City of Tucson, C20141225 (Ariz. Super. Ct. 2014) citing mag Entertainment LLC v. Div. of Alcohol Beverages Control, 868 A.2d 1067, 1076 (N.J. Sup. Ct. App. Div. 2005). A government agency is not required to respond to an overbroad request that does not request specific records. Id. at 1074, citing Capitol Info. Assoc. v. Ann Arbor Police, 360 N.W.2d 262, 263 (1985); see also e.g., Rogers v. Superior Court, 23 Cal.Rptr.2d 412 (Cal. App. 4th 1993) ("It makes no sense to permit an individual to make a general, unfocused request for records to the public agency ... [t]he request to the agency must itself be focused and specific.").
The University has over 6,000 employees. You have not identified the individuals whose communications your seek. Your request is overbroad and does not seek specific records. Please provide specificity regarding the records you request. Until you have done so, the University is unable to process this request.
Thank you,
Jodi

Hello Jodi,
Thank you for the additional information. Does the request become more reasonable if I specifically narrow down the request to a list of Title IX training statuses (indicating the completion or incompletion of training) for tenure-track, tenured, and Instructor Rank I faculty?
Regards,
Jessica
