Dear records officer,

Pursuant to North Carolina Public Records Law, kindly transmit the following records in electronic format on a rolling basis as they are cleared for release:

If there are any questions about my request, can provide any clarification that will help expedite the processing of my request, please contact me at chaskins@insider.com. I am also happy to hop on the phone.

This FOI request is being filed in pursuit of a time-sensitive news story. Therefore, I ask that my request is expedited. When completing this request, please prioritize whichever records would take the least amount of time to be located and released. I would like these records in electronic format, sent via email or other digital method, and again, please release documents on a rolling basis, as they become available.

If you determine that any of the information qualifies for an exemption from disclosure, I ask you to note whether the exemption is discretionary, and if so whether it is necessary in this case to exercise your discretion to withhold the information. In any event, please provide a signed notification citing the legal authorities on which you rely if you determine that any of the information is exempt and will not be disclosed.

Also, I am a member of the news media as a reporter for Business Insider, and the requested documents are in the public interest and not being made for commercial purposes. Therefore, I ask that all fees are waived in the processing of my request. If fees associated with this request will be in excess of $25, kindly notify me in advance of fulfilling this request. As I am making this request as a journalist and this information is timely, I would appreciate your communicating with me if you have questions regarding this request.

Thanks again, and I look forward to your reply within 10 business days, as the statute requires, and an even more prompt reply if you can make a determination without having to review the records in question.

Best,
Caroline Haskins

A message was sent to you regarding record request #23-298:

NC State University respectfully asks that you consider narrowing the scope of your request. You may make your request more manageable by combining search terms, removing generic search terms, and/or reducing the number of accounts. Please be aware that each record must be reviewed for responsiveness and confidential content prior to release. This is a time-consuming process, and NC State's staff is limited.

Narrowing your request would enhance NC State's ability to fulfill your request as "promptly as possible" in accordance with North Carolina public records law. The university is not required to provide the records within the ten days referenced in your request, nor does it have the capacity to meet this deadline.

Best regards,

NC State University

Katherine,

Thank you for providing the revised request. NC State will make every effort to provide the records as promptly as possible. However, the university is managing a large number of complex public records requests, and is currently experiencing a three to six month delay in fulfilling most requests.

NC State is unable to provide an estimate of when your request will be fulfilled.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Best regards,

NC State University
