Good morning. I apologize as my last email was premature. I now have
your original request. Please be advised that these records do not
exist. Rowan does not maintain documents that are responsive to your
request insofar as there are no documents that track employee information
in that manner (ie. List/document containing the number of tenure track
professors). As you are aware, the New Jersey Open Public Records Act
does not require Rowan create a document to satisfy your request. In a
published decision dated April 18, 2016, the New Jersey Appellate Division
in Paff v. Galloway Township, 444 N.J. Super. 495 (App. Div. 2016) upheld
a public entity’s denial of an Open Public Records Act (“OPRA”) request
for email logs, finding that OPRA creates no obligation on the public
entity to create new records that do not already exist. An OPRA request,
by definition, must seek a specific government record. If the OPRA request
asks for information and necessitates the public entity to create a new
document that was not in existence before the request was made, a public
entity may deny the request. Id.
Because the records sought do not exist, Rowan University must
unfortunately deny the request. Please feel free to reach out to me with
any questions and/or comments.
