Dear Ike Sloas,

Pursuant to the state open records law Tenn. Code Ann. Secs. 10-7-503 to 10-7-512; 10-7-701 to 10-7-702; 10-8-
101 to 10-8-103, I write to re uest access to and a copy of all supporting records and statistics used in compiling
the Rhodes College Annual Security & Fire Safety Report 2018-2019 for the three years 2015, 2016, 2017. Under
the act Rhodes College is re uired to have kept copies of crime reports; the daily crime logs (especially for 2015
and 2016); records for arrests and referrals for disciplinary action; timely warning and emergency noti ication
reports; documentation, such as letters to and from local police having to do with Clery Act compliance;
letters to and from campus security authorities; correspondence with the U.S Department of education
regarding Clery Act compliance; and copies of notices to students and employees about the availability of the
annual security report. Submitted crime statistics from the annual security report to the Department via the
annual Campus Safety and Security Survey. Any portion of the daily crime log that is older than 60 days must
be made available within two business days of a re uest for public inspection. If your agency does not
maintain these public records, please let me know who does and include the proper custodian's name and
address.

I agree to pay any reasonable copying and postage fees if absolutely necessary. However, under the Clery Act
Rhodes may not charge fees to individuals for copies of the annual security report, including all supporting
records used, nor can Rhodes include the annual security report in any publication for which you charge a fee.
If the cost would be greater than this amount, please notify me.

Considering it is summer, I suspect two business days may not allow ade uate time. However, as provided by
the open records law, I will expect your response within seven (7) business days. See Tenn. Code Ann. Sec. 10-
5-703(a)(2)(B). If you choose to deny this re uest, please provide a written explanation for the denial including
a reference to the speci ic statutory exemption(s) upon which you rely. Also, please provide all segregable
portions of otherwise exempt material.

Thank you for you assistance,

Sincerely,
Rachel Heimann
