Good afternoon Bryan (or Records Officer / Custodian(s) of these Records),
Please reply promptly to the following public records request, which I’m making in accordance with NC Public Records Law. https://www.ncleg.net/enactedlegislation/statutes/html/bychapter/chapter_132.html
Please provide all transcribed comments made by employees of Southwestern Community College in Sylva, NC on the “Annual Employee Surveys of College Services” or “Annual Employee Climate Surveys”. During the period of January 01, 2020 through May 31, 2025.
If any portion of the requested records is deemed confidential or exempt from disclosure under Law, please redact only the specific exempt content and provide the remainder of the records in unredacted form.
If any / all of this info is already publicly available online, please provide a link to where it can be accessed.
** I’m simply requesting an electronic copy of an electronic record, if one exists. I’m NOT asking for the opportunity to come in person to "inspect", nor to obtain a printed copy of, this electronic record. I’m requesting explicitly that any responsive info be provided to me via the electronic medium / electronic format (in which the copy of this record already exists).**

(June 2025) Request for Southwestern Community College, in NC: Comments by SCC employees related to “Annual Employee Surveys of College Services” and “Annual Employee Climate Surveys”. 01/01/2020 – 05/31/2025.Sorry about that… the date is on the top of the beginning page of each survey. For example, the first page is EmplSat-2021SP, which is Employee Satisfaction for Spring 2021. There’s one for each year, except 2024, when a survey was not conducted.

Thank you for providing the PDF.
The records I requested should include the specific time period of January 01, 2020 through May 31, 2025. Looking at the PDF, it’s unclear if the surveys are broken down by year, or what years are included. There is no text indicating where one year’s survey starts or ends. Can you please clarify whether the records I received cover the time period specified?
Thank you!
