Ben,

This is to confirm receipt of your request, copied below.

We will put together a time/cost estimate for searching for, retrieving, and reviewing responsive records, in accordance with our fee schedule<https://transparency.uiowa.edu/faqs/public-records-fee-schedule>. Please note that your keywords - in particular, "Gymnastics" - may produce a high volume of responsive records (including schedules, media releases, etc.), so the time to compile and review records could be substantial. If you would like to narrow the scope of your request, please let me know.

Please also note that records may be exempt from disclosure based on confidentiality exceptions under Iowa Code Chapter 22, including but not limited to, Iowa Code 22.7(11) (confidential personnel records).

Finally, your date range goes into the future (May 15). We don't process future requests for records that don't yet exist. We will retrieve responsive records up to the time your request was received.

Thanks,
Aubree

Hi Ben,

I wanted to seek clarification regarding your last email below. I had asked if you would consider narrowing the scope of your request, but if I'm understanding correctly, your response would expand the scope. Your original request asked for emails going back to January 1, 2024. Are you now asking for emails going back to January 1, 2023?

Can you see how many are in the keyword search first?

From: University of Iowa

To run the keyword search, I need to provide our IT team with a date range. Are you asking for records going back to January 1, 2024 or January 1, 2023? You’ve mentioned both dates.

Thanks,
Aubree
