Pursuant to the state open records law Or. Rev. Stat. Secs. 192.410 to 192.505, I write to request
access to and a copy of:
• Any reports on Title IX sexual violence complaints that would include a total number of
complaints filed from Jan. 1, 2012. If it helps for clarification, we are looking for any
reports the Title IX office puts out at the end of the calendar or academic year that tally
the volume of complaints, dispositions, etc., from which we can derive a total number of
complaints filed within that time.
• A copy of any reports on Title IX sexual violence complaints that would include a total
number of complaints filed from Jan. 1, 2012, that involved student athletes as
respondents, where student athlete is defined as someone on the roster within that
academic year of team of an NCAA sport. Again, if the Title IX office compiles such a
report – and breaks out the number of reports involving student athletes as respondent –
we would like a copy of that report.
If you do not have records responsive to the above, we would request the following:
• A copy of each Title IX sexual violence complaint filed since Jan. 1, 2012 in which at
least one of the respondents is a student athlete. We understand and accept that you might
need to redact a significant portion, if not almost all, of the record. But that should not
preclude handing over a copy of the document itself, even if it’s just a bunch of blacked
out lines. State laws usually preclude withholding an entire record if portions of that
record can be redacted. We are most interested in the number of complaints and the date
on which they were filed, so even if you give us six pages of mostly blacked out text, that
still has value for our research. We just ask that it’s clear which pages belong to which
complaint.
