Section 552.222 of the Texas Public Information Act permits a governmental body to ask a requestor to clarify or narrow a request for information if the request is unclear or if a large amount of information has been requested. The purpose of this letter is to ask that you clarify or narrow your request by providing us with more information about the particular records you seek. The following paragraph highlights the aspect of your request that we find to be unclear or overly broad.

In this case, we just need to know what you mean by complaints "similar" to Title IX complaints. Complaints similar to Title IX can be filed with any number of University Offices. For example, criminal complaints may be filed with UTPD, complaints against students may be filed with Student Conduct in the Office of the Dean of Students, and complaints against employees may be filed with our Department of Investigation and Adjudication. Please be more specific in describing what sorts of complaints (other than those filed with Title IX) you are looking for.

Please let us know how you wish to proceed. Upon receipt of your response, we will resume work on your request.  You may deliver your response by replying to this email or by any one of the following means:
