Re: request for copies....... Sally Eckert-Tilotta 22 May 2001 15:51 EST
Sorry, that's not the interpretation in our state. All of our records are subject to our open records act, with its exclusions on medical records, personnel records, marked proprietary info. So the records regarding a privately funded grant becomes public when we enter it into our records (i.e. when funded). Those documents or parts of documents that are confidential must be clearly marked confidential for us to prevent release. We don't pull budgets or anything else that is not marked.
