President William Tate Contract
Dear Rutgers University,
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-5(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 copy of the employment contract for President designate William F. Tate IV.
My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachment(s). 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,
Charlie Kratovil

Dear Ms. Sanchez,
I tried to call you at the number in your message, but it went to voicemail and said the voicemail was full.
Can you please contact me at 732-993-9697? I don't think an extension is appropriate as the President's contract should be an immediate access document under the OPRA. What is your reason for the delay?
Yours sincerely,
Charlie Kratovil
