The Department of Government Records (DGO) conducted a three‑part hearing on multiple GRAMA appeals. The first consolidated matter combined two petitioners' requests for University of Utah records about communications between university athletics staff and public safety; the Director found some of the search terms sufficiently specific and ordered searches to proceed but recognized FERPA limits. The second appeal involved a request for internal‑affairs findings related to University of Utah Police Department employee Suzanne Williams; the Director reviewed records in camera and denied the petition. The third appeal (Bacher v. Department of Health and Human Services) challenged DHHS's classification of adviser submissions to a 2023 SB16 systematic review; the Director ordered partial disclosure with redactions for privacy and withheld draft language that was integral to the final report.
