Seven Pages Referenced in Middle States Response
Request: Seven Pages Referenced in Middle States OPRA Response
Dear Sussex County Community College Records Custodian:
Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq., and the common law right of access.
This request is valid by email and need not be submitted on any particular form or platform.
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 records for a commercial purpose.
I am not seeking these records in connection with a legal proceeding.
Records requested:
Please provide electronic copies of the seven pages of records responsive to, referenced in, identified, collected, reviewed, or produced in connection with the OPRA request titled “OPRA Request for Middle States Records,” submitted to Sussex County Community College on or about April 23, 2026, concerning Middle States records, additional documentation, follow-up items, trustee preparation, the March 2026 accreditation visit, Standard VII, governance, operations, and Board-related accreditation materials.
For clarity, this request seeks the actual seven pages of responsive records, including any attachments, cover pages, transmittal emails, memoranda, agenda materials, briefing materials, summaries, or other documents comprising or enclosing those seven pages.
Please provide the records by email attachment and confirm receipt of this request.
If any portion of this request is denied, redacted, or withheld, please identify each withheld or redacted record and state the specific legal basis for the denial. If you are not the proper custodian, please forward this request to the appropriate custodian and provide that person’s name and email address.
Ben Straus.
Dear Sussex County Community College,
I write to follow up and clarify the records requested.
This request concerns the approximately seven pages of follow-up items referenced in the College’s Tuesday, March 24, 2026 Board of Trustees meeting materials, under the heading “Middle States Update.”
Specifically, the minutes state that the College had received a request from the Middle States evaluation team for additional documentation totaling approximately seven pages of follow-up items, and that the administration was preparing responses and assembling the requested materials.
For clarity, I am requesting electronic copies of those approximately seven pages of follow-up items, together with any records comprising, enclosing, transmitting, responding to, or reflecting the College’s response to those items.
Please provide the records by email attachment. If any portion is withheld or redacted, please identify the record and state the specific legal basis for the denial.
Yours faithfully,
Ben Straus
