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 5 business days, as the statute requires, 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

Dear Sir/Madam,
The University is working with the responsible departments to gather the
available records. Please be advised that this review / redaction process
will be relatively time intensive due to the number of records to be
reviewed. We expect to be able to provide a response within 3 months due
to day to day workload volumes, in addition, during this initial review if
we determine that fees may be applied we will be providing you with
estimates.

Dear Sir/Madam,
The University is currently in the process of reviewing and redacting a
large number of emails in response to your request and similar requests.
Due to the volume of emails, the search for a new FOIL and records access
officer, and the need to ensure that any confidential information is
appropriately protected, together with any redactions required and
permitted by Public Officers Law Section 87, this process is estimated to
take approximately six months. Thank you for your understanding and
patience as we work to fulfill this request in a thorough and timely manner.
