Vermont Freedom of Information Act. Request: Vermont Freedom of Information Act. Request: Pepsi and Coke

Dear Kayla,

I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your records request received January 23, 2023. We are conducting a search to determine what records, if any, are responsive to the request and their status under Vermont law.

Due to the location of records that must be reviewed to respond to your request and because I am still consulting with other departments with substantial interest in the determination of the request, I am notifying you of our need to extend under 1 V.S.A. § 318(a)(5) our time for response to up to ten business days from the date of your request. Therefore, you will receive our response to your request by February 6, 2023.

More information about the University's Public Records Act policies and procedures can be found on our website at https://www.uvm.edu/compliance/public-records.

Sincerely,

Maureen
