Employees Residing in Campus Housing
Dear Ramapo College of NJ,
Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-6(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.
I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.
I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.
I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
Records requested:
Please provide a list of Ramapo employees/non-employees that reside in campus housing and do not incur a monthly rent expense.
Please note what in the employee's job description, or terms on non-employee that requires them to reside on campus.
Is this "free rent" taxable or non-taxable
My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.
Yours faithfully,
Anonymous NJ Resident

Dear anonymous,

request filed with Ramapo College of New Jersey (the “College”) and
received by the Custodian of Records on November 3 , 2025 and your follow
up email of November 14, 2025. The following is responsive to your

Open Public Records Act requires requestors to identify specific
government records with reasonable clarity. Your request is a request
for information, not a specific, identifiable government record, as
required by N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1 and therefore not a valid OPRA request.
You may resubmit your request seeking specific government records.
