[William Harbaugh]

Dear VP Alex-Assensoh

I‘m writing to ask if your office will provide the public records which I requested on Nov 3, in advance of your talk to the Senate this Wed.

Thanks,

Dear Public Records Officer -

This is a request for

a) The contract between UO and Gallup for the IDEAL 2022 Climate Survey.

b) Copies of any reports sent by Gallup to UO that include any results or analyses of the IDEAL Campus Climate Survey.

As noted on the survey web page at https://inclusion.uoregon.edu/ideal-climate-survey-2022-faq,

8. What does the UO plan to do with results to the IDEAL Campus Climate Survey?

     The results of the IDEAL Campus Climate Survey belong to everyone. [emphasis added] They will be used by campus leaders to understand what we need to do more of and/or differently to live up to our values of inclusion and equity. With support from Gallup, we will:

Determine what the results mean and identify priorities and timelines for addressing them;
Identify campus-level systems, policies and structures, through which interventions will lead to meaningful change,
Put plans to enhance engagement into action.
We will provide results for individual units and also engage a similar process of priority setting that aligns with campus goals, actions and assessments. All results will be shared in a way that maintain and protect confidentiality.

I ask for a fee waiver on the basis of public interest as explained in this statement and many similar statements by the university administration regarding this survey.

I am ccing VP for DEI Yvette Alex-Assensoh, as she should have these documents readily at hand and be able to provide them without your office's customary fees and delays.

Thanks,

Bill Harbaugh
