This request is related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives, as well as Funding for RCC.

** Please Note: I am simply requesting an electronic copy of an electronic record, if one exists. I am NOT asking 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 an electronic medium / format (in which the copy of this record should already exist).

I do not have any additional or further clarifying info to provide to narrow this request, other than what you see in the message below. If it is unclear, or you are unable to fulfill any or all parts of this request, please specifically cite where a reason for denial is justified under NC Public Records Law.**

If any / all of this info is already publicly available online, then please provide a link to where it can be accessed:

A. Financial Information.

Please provide the annualized, line-item budget with expenditure totals for any category dedicated to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, at Rockingham Community College.

Please include the following:

1) Name of expenditure
2) Category of expenditure
3) Budget fund

Ideally, I’d like to receive the responsive records in an Excel format, if possible.

B. Curricular Information.
