need your help to get f21/w22/s22/s22 grade distributions faster (ucla keeps pushing back)

Once again, the UCLA Public Records office has pushed back the availability of the grade distribution/class data we requested back in February

Timeline:

  1. on feb 15, sent request
  2. on feb 16, promised response by feb 27
  3. on feb 27, they pushed back to mar 13
  4. on mar 13, sent estimated availability of apr 14
  5. on apr 14, pushed back to apr 28
  6. on apr 28, pushed back to may 12
  7. on may 12, pushed back one request to may 26 and asked for "clarification" on another request (not sure if they had even read it in the intervening three months?)

Edit: FIRE has already replied to me asking for more information, so no need to make any more submissions — thank y'all for your support!

FIRE is a nonprofit advocacy organization that sued UCLA (and won) in 2020 for violating the California Public Records Act; UCLA had delayed their request 4 times. Link here: https://dailybruin.com/2020/11/22/free-speech-group-wins-lawsuit-against-ucla-for-violation-of-public-records-law

At this point, UCLA has delayed our request 5 times.
