The purpose of this policy is to ensure university-wide compliance with the Ohio Public Records Act, Chapter 149.43 et seq., of the Revised Code, as well as to facilitate prompt access to the university's public records.
The president will designate a public records officer who will be primarily responsible for establishing and administering a university-wide system to promptly respond to public records requests. The public records officer will work with university offices to establish such system and promote understanding of Ohio's public records laws for all university employees.
A procedure will be established to, among other things, identify public records request pathways, assist requesters, set charges for costs associated with copying records, establish a process for an internal review of records prior to production to ensure that records produced are not exempt in accordance with Ohio law.
