Mr. Teel,

I am writing you to confirm (or deny) that you got a response to your Open Records request from Wichita State. There was an extremely technical problem with the database that caused some data loss and we’re in the process of rebuilding it. General Counsel prioritized recovering your request today, so I expedited it. However, since you’re the first to get back in the database, I just wanted to confirm that you received the response from General Counsel just now and that everything is working as it should.

Thanks for your feedback,
—Mike
