To whom it may concern,

Correspondence from 6/29/21 indicated that there were no responsive records to my public records request for "Any signed and/or executed contract/agreement/partnership/offer letter/proposal/memorandum of understanding between Tennessee, Knoxville and Push Inc."

However, on the website for the company Push Inc (accessible here: https://www.trainwithpush.com/), the University of Tennesee is listed as a trusted partner, indicating that there is some sort of agreement between these two parties.

That agreement is what my public records request has referenced. Please provide the document affiliated with Push Inc. that would result in the University of Tennesee being listed as a trusted partner on the vendor's website, or alternatively, provide me with the corresponding statute that woudl prevent this records from being disclosed so that I may investigate that myself.

Thanks,

Ellen

From: University of Tennessee, Knoxville

Ellen, I have been advised that there are no contracts or agreement documents between the university and Push Inc.
