Good afternoon,

Please accept this as Rowan's completed response to your December 4, 2023 OPRA request (below) wherein you sought:
List of all team names successfully registered for the 2023 Rowan University Homecoming Events;
List of team names participating in the 2023 Homecoming Lip Sync; and
Results of the 2023 Rowan Homecoming Lip Sync Tournament

As you know, OPRA requires a response within seven business days, in this case that would be December 13, 2023. This response is being provided on December 12, 2023, the sixth business day. The attachment to this email provides all the information you requested.

Please be advised that this response is not being provided under the common law for the following reason(s):The common law right to access public records depends on three requirements: (I) the records must be common law public documents; (2) the person seeking access must establish an interest in the subject matter of the material; and (3) the citizen's right to access must be balanced against the State's interest in preventing disclosure. Richard Rivera v. Union County Prosecutor's Office, 250 N.J. 124, 143-44 (2022); South Jersey Publishing Co. v. New Jersey Expressway Auth., 124 N.J. 478,487 (1991); Loigman v. Kimmelman, 102 N.J. 98 (1986); Nero v. Hyland, 76 NJ. 213, 222 (1978). In this case, you did not identify your interest in the requested records. With that said, there are no additional documents to be produced.

This is a full response to your OPRA request and Rowan will close this request unless you advise otherwise.

If you have any questions and/or would like to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at any time.

Thank you,
Arsinoe Feld, Esq
