From: David Gleason Subject: Re: May 6, 2015 MPIA request Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2015 13:48:07 -0400 To: Jacob Kogan Dear Dr. Kogan, Since the Department could only estimate the cost of finding all the files, providing the cost of copying an unknown number of files at this point would be difficult. It is the practice of the University to charge for the costs involved in requests that are as labor intensive as the request you have made. The Department did not wish to waive the costs. I do not know if there is an alternative, lower cost means to requesting similar information (such as a standard report rather than source documents), but that might be a low or no cost alternative you might wish to explore with the Department. If you would like some assistance with that, my office can help you with that. Sincerely, David Gleason David R.
