Good Afternoon,







Texas Tech University System (TTUS) is in receipt of your Texas Public Information Act request below/attached.  However, TTUS seeks to discuss with you how the scope of your request might be narrowed and/or clarified pursuant to Texas Government Code § 552.222(b).  TTUS requests that you narrow or clarify the scope of your request as follows:







  1.  First, your request does not specify a specific academic year, which may require us to search for all such records since the inception of the P3 curriculum. This necessary process could result in significant costs to you.

  2.  Further, your request for “faculty guidance” and “administrative correspondence” concerning P3 requirements is broad and unclear. In order for us to identify and locate potentially responsive information, we ask that you clarify what specific types of correspondence or “faculty guidance” you are seeking. For example, you could clarify your request by specifying a particular document and custodian, or by providing a few keywords to search within a specific academic year.

  3.  Additionally, a search for all internal correspondence and “faculty guidance”, without clarification/narrowing, could require a manual review of thousands of documents to locate responsive records. This necessary process could result in significant costs to you.

  4.  As such, you may wish to consider narrowing the scope of your request to reduce these potential costs and allow us to identify and locate potentially responsive information. For example, you could limit your request by doing the following:



  *   Provide the Academic Years of interest: Please specify a relevant timeframe for your request, specifically a particular academic year (e.g., 2023-2024).

  *   Request Final Documents: Limit your request to a version of the P3 syllabi, policy, and/or rubric for a specified academic year.



  *   Specify Correspondence: Instead of all "administrative correspondence," you could specify a particular document and custodian, or provide a few keywords to search within a specific academic year.







Please simply respond to this request and let us know if you are willing to narrow/clarify the scope of your request in the manner suggested or in some other manner.  Please note that we may be required to send some information to the Texas Attorney General for review prior to release.  That process could take 2-3 months.  TTUS is required to inform you that if you do not respond to this request for narrowing/clarification within 61 days from the date of this request, your request will be considered withdrawn.







Sincerely,



Brontë C. Staugaard



Assistant General Counsel



Texas Tech University System

Hello—clarifying to make this simple and fast:

Identify the year (quick lookup, existing records only):

Please identify the academic year in which I would have been in P3
(MSCI-5120/6120) based on your existing records (e.g., program
map/catalog for my cohort, Registrar’s one-line certification, or
Student Affairs/ DOME cohort schedule). No other students’ info is
requested or needed—a one-line confirmation or a pointer to the
program map is sufficient.

Two ways to proceed (choose whichever is faster):

Option A (preferred): After you identify the AY of my P3 year, produce
the final P3 materials for that AY (see list below).

Option B (fallback to avoid delay): While you confirm the AY, produce
finals for AY 2014-15 and AY 2015–16 now and then tell me which of
those aligns with my P3 year. If only one of those AYs applies, just
say which.

Final documents only (no drafts):

P3 syllabus, grading rubric, official policies/procedures, and faculty
guidance/training decks that were actually in force for the relevant
AY.

If applicable, the final committee/department approval memo (as
adopted) for those items.

Where finals live (existing only):

The final PDFs themselves and/or the final SharePoint/OneDrive
location where those finals are stored (final folder/path only).

Segregate-and-release: Please release non-exempt portions immediately
on a rolling basis; don’t hold back non-exempt items pending other
review.

Format: PDFs for finals; electronic delivery only. If finals are in a
repository/LMS, exporting the final PDF is fine (no version history or
student submissions needed).

Schedule: If you can’t produce within 10 business days, please send
the required written date/time for the first batch and the staged
production schedule you’re using.

Process artifacts (existing only):

the search instruction you sent (who/when/locations),

any hit-count/summary already produced,

the ticket/log ID + timestamps, and any production schedule already drafted.

Privacy: No student PII sought; I accept redactions.

Costs: Please proceed Phase-1 up to $40; before exceeding, send a
refreshed itemized estimate. Delivery is electronic only.

Receipt & deadlines: Sent Mon Oct 20, 2025 at 8:00 AM CT—please
confirm you treat Oct 20 as the receipt date. Based on that: Day-10 =
Mon Nov 3, 2025; Day-15 = Mon Nov 10, 2025.

If you consider Oct 20 a non-business day or are suspending under a
catastrophe notice, please attach the designation/notice so I can
adjust. I’m happy to further narrow after a quick hit-count/index.

Following my 10/20 clarification on this request, please advise
whether you will request an Attorney General ruling on any portion.

If yes: please copy me on your Day-10 notice and provide the AG
control number when assigned so I can submit §552.304 requestor
comments.

If no: please confirm anticipated production timing and a date/time
for Batch 1 and proceed with rolling release as records are ready.

For any redactions/withholdings, please cite the specific Gov’t Code
sections, produce all reasonably segregable portions, and identify the
basis for each redaction. For electronic records, please produce in
native format (or searchable PDF) with available metadata. If
estimated charges exceed $40, please send the itemized cost estimate
and advise if a deposit is required. Please confirm receipt.
