The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records February 11, 2022 SPR22/0299 Alisa M. Chapman Records Access Officer (RAO) Massachusetts College of Art and Design 621 Huntington Avenue Boston, MA 02115 Dear Ms. Chapman: I have received the petition of Steven Connor appealing the response of the Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On December 10, 2021, Mr. Connor requested the: [f]inal investigative report, or memoranda, or documentation representing or constituting a final report, or police internal affairs report, concerning allegations of violations of MassArt's Whistleblower Policy which were reported and outlined on August 5th, 2021 in an email entitled Confidential Disclosure Violations sent by the APA Local Chapter President to the Massachusetts College of Art and Design Human Resources Department. Previous appeal This request was the subject of previous appeal. See SPR21/3385 Determination of the Supervisor of Records (January 12, 2022). MassArt provided a response on January 26, 2022. Unsatisfied with MassArt’s response, Mr. Connor petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/0299, was opened as a result. Subsequent to the opening of this appeal, MassArt provided a supplemental response on February 10, 2022. Where the basis of this appeal was the January 26th response, I will consider this administrative appeal closed. If issues remain unresolved, Mr. Connor may appeal the substantive nature of MassArt’s February 10th response within 90 days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
