Ms. Clark's request required clarification with IPA staff. A summary of the facts of this matter follows. The heading on the form stated that the Authorization was for the release of public and private data under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, which is codified at Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 13. Accordingly, I'm using the release instead of your suggestion. However, I assume the modified release achieves the same result as your suggestion.
Private data are accessible to the subject of the data.
Mr. Stafford stated that MnSCU does not dispute that the data in question are available for M's review, subject to possible redaction of private student data pursuant to section 13.32 and federal law. However, the request form refers to private and public personnel data and references section 13.43. Further, in order to avoid the confusion that arose in this instance, MnSCU might establish specific procedures for access by a data subject to public or private data, pursuant to section 13.05, subdivision 8. It then could rely upon those procedures to clarify an otherwise confusing request for access to data.
