Dear Grace Schweitzer,

I am in receipt of your message. What is the legal basis for the requested extension? Princeton has already delayed responding by alleging the initial request was too broad. This second failure to respond leads me to believe that there is no intention to answer the request which is a clear violation of OPRA. If there is no response before tomorrow, Friday, April 12th, I will be forced into escalation.

Yours sincerely,

Ivy J. Crow
