Public Records Request

At times, you may receive requests from the general public, or anyone else, for University, CALS, Extension, or specific County data.  Because we are a public university, we do fall under the rules of public-record requests and the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA).

This template for a written response to such a request contains the information you will need to respond to these inquiries via e-mail or phone, or in-person:
