Non-disclosure or other agreements with Chari Chanley
Dear Rowan University,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
Please provide any records pertaining to non-disclosure agreements, agreements between parties or legal action filed by or on behalf of Chari Robynne Brownstein Chanley, Chari R, Chanley or any name combination, within the last four years involving Rowan University or any of its administrative or academic departments.
Yours faithfully,
Concerned Citizen
Good afternoon,
Please accept this as Rowan's completed response to your September 27, 2023 OPRA request (below) wherein you sought "records pertaining to non-disclosure agreements, agreements between parties or legal action filed by or on behalf of Chari Robynne Brownstein Chanley, Chari R, Chanley or any name combination, within the last four years involving Rowan University or any of its administrative or academic departments". As you may know, OPRA requires a response within seven business days, in this case October 6, 2023. We are providing this response today, on the seventh business day.
Your request is denied 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. Kimmeman, 102 N.J. 98 (1986); Nero v. Hyland, 76 NJ. 213, 222 (1978). Your common law request is denied due to your failure to identify your interest in the requested records.
We can, however, provide you with the following additional information: After a thorough search, we were unable to find any documents that match your request. Please let us know if you have any more information which you believe may enable us to locate the documents you are looking for.
I believe 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
