Doe\u2019s petition involves a \nsensitive and extensive student conduct investigation and proceeding that involved seven \nrespondents, eight additional witnesses, and 12 days of testimony.  The record may well be 4-5,000 \npages, including audio visual evidence, a 99-page decision, and over 1,700 pages of hearing \ntranscripts.  The sheer volume and complexity of this record makes upfront redaction of the entire \nrecord impracticable and burdensome.  On top of that, the underlying subject matter involves \nallegations of sexual assault and sexual exploitation.   \n \nGiven the sensitive nature of the underlying proceeding and the complex and voluminous \nrecord, Cornell respectfully requests permission to file the entire record for this proceeding \nunredacted, but under seal with the Court.  As portions of record are cited or referenced by the \nparties in these proceedings, the parties will redact those narrow portions for filing.  Doe\u2019s counsel \nconsents to this request and has signed the attached Confidentiality and Protective Order, which \nCornell encloses herewith and requests the Court so-order. \n \nWe thank the Court for its attention to this matter. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nSincerely,  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nAdam G.
