To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Washington Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

Records of all liquor displinary violations, drug disciplinary violations, reports of rape, reports of fondling, and reports of statutory rape from student residence halls dating from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2019 (inclusive). I am requesting this information have the following information (but not limited to): exact date reported of the violation (e.g., the month, day, and year) and type of violation (e.g., liquor, drug, rape, fondling, statutory rape violation).

If this data can be given in a spreadsheet format (e.g., .xls, .csv, .xlsx) this would be most appreciated.

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.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Michael Topper

We hope to complete our review of records responsive to your Public Records Request and respond to you by December 14, 2021, however, more time may be necessary.

Your request for WSU records is not confidential. All Public Records Requests are public records. The records responsive to a request may contain names, identifiers, or information about other people (such as employees, former employees, students, former students, or third parties). WSU may send a notice to people named in the records informing them that their name, identifiers, or other information about them will be disclosed under the Public Records Act and provide them sufficient time in which to seek legal counsel to determine whether to file a motion in Whitman County Superior Court to enjoin disclosure. When we send such notices to people named in records, we also provide a copy of the request with the notice.

Please contact this office if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Public Records Office

Subject: [Document Released to Requester] Washington State University public records request #21-401

Portal

************************************************************************

Hi there

A document has been released for record request #21-401 along with the following message:

Dear Requester:

Records responsive to your Public Records Request are available at https://wsu.nextrequest.com.

No documents have been withheld under any claim of exemption under the Public Records Act (RCW 42.56).

Please note: WSU Police Department has provided a document with reported alcohol, drug, and sexual assault offenses. It provides the Date Reported, Case Number, Call Nature (this is what was reported to dispatch when the case was generated - not necessarily the offense/crime that the officer determined after investigating), and the offense code. Also included is a list of the offense codes and a list of residence hall addresses to assist as a key for WSU campus locations. If additional details are needed they will need to be requested on a case-by-case basis since there is not a way to provide all of the information requested in a single report.

This concludes the University's 1st installment of our response to your request for public records.

We hope to complete our review of the 2nd installment of records responsive to your Public Records Request and respond to you by April 15, 2022, however, more time may be necessary.

Please contact this office if you have any questions.
