Re: OPRA Request No. 2020-17
Dear Ms. Valentine,
This is in response to your Open Public Records Act (“OPRA”) request filed
with Ramapo College of New Jersey (the “College”) on March 6, 2020. We
thank you for providing Ramapo extra time to respond to your request. Due
to the State of Emergency declared for the State of New Jersey and the
College working remotely, we required extension of time to process your
request. The following responds to the specific items of your request, as
listed below:
1. *Any annual, quarterly or semesterly logs or reports that detail how
often various school therapy services are provided to students. Please
provide logs from the academic year beginning in 2014 through the present. *
*Government records responsive to your specific request for logs or reports
do not exist, we can provide the following from 2014 to present:*
· *Intakes – daily, by appointments*
· *Individual therapy – daily, by appointment *
· *Group therapy – once a week*
· *Emergency appointments – 24/7 at the request of the student*
1. *Any reports, logs, or other data that tracks average wait times for
students who have sought help for mental health issues. Please provide logs
from the academic year beginning in 2014 through the present.*
*Government records do not exist responsive to your request.*
1. *The budget for mental health services for each year beginning in
2014 through the present. *
*Government record responsive to your request is attached in a PDF.*
1. *Any reports, logs, or other data that tracks the number of
mental-health related accommodations requested each school year, as well as
the outcomes of those accommodation requests. Please provide records
beginning in 2014 through the present.*
*Government records responsive to your request do not exist in a log or
report. Student accommodations are kept within each student’s individual
file and would require a review of each student file. This would require a
sizable amount of time to research and produce which would in turn require
that a service fee be assessed. *
1. *Any and all policies related to mental health, including but not
limited to policies governing leaves of absence (voluntary and involuntary)
for students, as well as any logs or reports that note the voluntary and
involuntary leaves of absences students have taken each year since 2014.*
*Government records responsive to you request are attached in a word
document.*
Thank you
