Hello Jenny,
Colorado State University employs Colorado State University employees, it does not employ AgNext employees. Colorado State University does not keep track and does not have a way of identifying AgNext employees since AgNext is multidisciplinary.
In order to process your request, Colorado State University will need the name or names of the people you are interested in. Furthermore, because the Colorado Open Records Act strikes a balance between the statutory right of members of the public to inspect and copy public records and the administrative burdens that may be placed upon government agencies in responding to such requests, Colorado State University requests a list of exact search terms, not just a list of words that you are interested in, i.e. ("climate-friendly" AND "dairy"). Otherwise, the search may result in hundreds of emails to which it will take significant time to go through.
Thank you,

Hello Ari,
It's not entirely clear from the AgNext website who is an employee of CSU and who is not. Is it possible to get this information? Can you also clarify the organization status of AgNext? Is it part of CSU or an independently formed organization or entity?
From: Colorado State University
https://agnext.colostate.edu/team/
I clicked on each of their names (not the students of course) and they all appear to be at CSU.
AgNext is a multi college effort that pulls together people from the Department of Animal Sciences, College of Agricultural Sciences and College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences. I know some folks from Warner sometimes do projects with them. Because they don't belong to a specific school or department, that is why we can't just give you a list. We rely on their "self report" if you will, of who is associated with them. I suspect they have outside visitors but if they have a colostate.edu email, they have some formal association with CSU.
Sorry, it's a bit of an odd duck. We have a few of these and they all center around a facility or facilities just like this one does – not a specific college or department.
