Dear Shinbrot:

Thank you for submitting your request for government records of Rutgers,
The State University of New Jersey. Your request has been received and is
being processed in accordance with the New Jersey Open Public Records Act
(OPRA), NJSA 47:1 et seq. Your request was received through the online,
public portal [1]Rutgers University Open Public Records Center of this
office on 1/10/2022 and given the reference number R007086-011022.  

Your request will be forwarded to the Office of the Custodian of
Records for review and processing, including determining the volume of
responsive documents and any potential costs associated with satisfying
your request. Please note, the N.J. Open Public Records Act does not
require the University to create new documents, to conduct research, or to
answer questions for information.

Records Requested: Dear Rutgers 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: On 7/28/21, OPRA request R006782-072821 asked
for: “all contracts and statements of work between Rutgers University and
any of the following companies between 1/1/2018 and the present: 1) Huron
Consulting Group, Inc. 2) Accenture, LLP 3) Deloitte Consulting, Inc. 4)
EAB Global, Inc. 5) Advisory Board Company 6) Ernst & Young, LLP 7) NACUBO
8) Anthology Inc. of NY 9) Infosilem Academic or Berger-Levrault” As of
12/8/21, this request was closed by the Rutgers OPRA office. However still
outstanding are: 1) Huron Conflict of Interest Statement of Work. The
original OPRA response asserted that "(There is no general statement of
work because they are hired for consulting.)" However the Huron name
appears explicitly at the bottom of Rutgers Ethics Armor software, which
is not consistent with consulting employment. I request all contracts and
statements of work associated with the production and licensing of this
software. 2) Huron RAPSS software contract and statement of work. Again
the Huron appears on the Rutgers RAPSS software, and I request all
contracts and statements of work associated with the production and
licensing of this software. 3) I request ALL contracts and statements of
work associated with Huron or its subsidiaries. This includes all
contracts and statements of work by SalesForce, which is owned by Huron.
4) I request all contracts and statements of work associated with NACUBO.
The original OPRA request response stated that "(There is no direct
contract only purchase orders)," however Aug. 25, 2020 Jim Hundrieser
(NACUBO) provided to John Fahey (Rutgers) an agreement and scope of work.
Therefore I again request all contracts and statements of work associated
with NACUBO 5) I request all contracts and statements of work associated
with Ernst & Young. The original OPRA request response stated that "(only
purchase orders)" were involved with Ernst & Young. However Rutgers has
spent over $19M on Ernst & Young: it seems implausible that this was done
without a contract or statement of work. Therefore I again request either
all contracts and statements of work associated with Ernst & Young or
documentation of other authority by which the $19M was spent without a
contract. Yours faithfully, Troy Shinbrot
