Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
Any and all Title IX complaints involving The University of Southern California within the past 5 years.
In order to help to determine my status to assess fees, you should know that I am a representative of the news media affiliated with Refinery29 and Vice Media Group.
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.

Hi, Sandra!
I hope this note finds you well. I'm reaching out because I saw that this request was aggregated to be similar to my other request, but I am confused because when I look the number up in this tracker (https://foiaxpress.pal.ed.gov/app/CheckStatus.aspx) it says "responsive documents have been delivered." However, I have not received any documents that I can find, and don't have a sign in on the Department of Education's site. Where would I find them if they'd been delivered? Thank you!
Warm regards,
Molly
