Dear Members of the Committee:
D.u\ flynrt
c,,. f :J1t1i r
Thank you for your service to the Committee and for your continuing work on the Committee's inquiry
into the conduct of Regent Wallace Hall.
Enclosed you will find a draft of the investigative report produced by the Committee's counsel, Rusty
Hardin & Associates, LLP. We have reviewed the report, and now submit it to you for your
consideration.
As Co-Chairs, we believe that the Committee has a responsibility to do all it can to safeguard the
credibility of its inquiry, the integrity of our state's institutions of higher education, and the privacy
rights of students at the University of Texas. The report notes that Regent Hall's conduct with respect to
protected student information is serious enough to implicate two possible offenses in the Penal Code. In
addition, Regent Hall's conduct may constitute a criminal offense under the Texas Public Information
Act. Accordingly, we are referring this information of possible criminal violations to the Travis County
Attorney's Office and the Travis County District Attorney's Office.
The enclosed draft is a working version of the investigative report. We respectfully reguest your
cooperation in keeping its contents confidential until the Committee issues its final version. Should you
wish to provide us with feedback on this draft, we request all responses be submitted in writing to the
Committee Clerk by Monday, April 14th. Additionally, we are considering April 23rd and 24

h as possible
dates to reconvene the Committee. Please notify the Committee Clerk of your availability for these dates
as soon as possible.
Thank you for your consideration and your cooperation.
