This is an automated response in an effort to efficiently respond to questions
concerning the inspection and/or acquisition of public records from Middlesex
College. Should your question require a response that falls outside of the
instructions contained herein, we will address your question accordingly.

Thank you for your request for information regarding government records. To
assist you in expediting your request for a Government Record from Middlesex
College, please adhere to the attached instructions and information:

Government records not exempt from public access, may be inspected, examined,
and copied during regular business hours at the office of the Custodian of
Government Records. Copies may be purchased upon payment of the reproduction fee
prescribed. Special Service Charges will be added where the requested records
are voluminous, are not in the format or medium requested, cannot be reproduced
by ordinary document copying equipment, reproduction requires a substantial
amount of manipulation, or where extensive use of information technology is
required.

To obtain a copy or to arrange an inspection of government records, an official
Government Record Request Form (GRRF) must be completely filled out. The
official GRRF is available at the above address along with instructions for
filing your request. If you prefer to deliver this form anonymously, you must
arrange to return to the office of the Custodian of Government Records to pay
any fees required and to receive access to the requested documents. A deposit is
required from anonymous requestors.

Payment of the applicable Reproduction Fee and any Special Service Charges must
be made prior to release and/or access of the record by cash or certified check
only.

A statement of your right to access government records of Middlesex College and
your right to appeal a denial of access, is set forth on the last page of this
response.
NOTICE OF RIGHT TO ACCESS GOVERNMENT RECORDS OF
MIDDLESEX COLLEGE

The New Jersey Public Access to Government Records Act N.J.S.A. 47:1A et, seq.
(the “Act”) requires that the College grant members of the public access to
government records as defined in the Act. The Act safeguards from disclosure,
proprietary and private records and information.

Requests for government records may be made anonymously.

Upon payment of the applicable fee, the College is required to make government
records available within the following time periods:

Immediate access will be provided to budgets, bills, vouchers, contracts,
including collective negotiations agreements, individual employment contracts,
and public employee salary and overtime information. Immediate access will be
provided as soon as reasonably possible following receipt of the request if the
record is not being used and is not in archive storage.

Not Later than seven (7) business days after receiving the records request,
access will be granted or denied to all other government records provided record
is currently available, not in use and not in storage or archived. Failure of
the Custodian of Government Records to respond within seven business days after
receiving a request is deemed a denial, unless the requestor has elected not to
provide a name, address or telephone number, or other means of contacting the
requestor, in which case the Custodian of Government Records shall not be
required to respond until the requestor reappears before the Custodian seeking a
response to the original request.

The requestor is entitled to be advised in advance of the estimated amount of
fees and charges to be imposed by the College for the reproduction costs and
other special services requested.

Right of Appeal. A person who is denied access to a government record by the
Custodian, at the option of the requestor, may institute a proceeding
challenging the Custodian’s decision by (1) filing a complaint with the
Government Records Council or (2) by filing an action in the Superior Court.

An informational pamphlet produced by the Government Records Council which
explains the right of the public to access government records and the methods
for resolving disputes regarding access is available. Assistance may also be
obtained by calling the toll-free helpline of the Government Records Council or
by logging on to that agency’s informational website.
