...divulge his or her name. The creator, who conceived of the idea after learning about Shuttleboybot, wrote the script for YummyFoodBot in a programming language called Perl. The YummyFoodBot program looks for patterns in the messages that it receives. For more complex queries—such as a request for a menu several days away—the program takes about 10 seconds to respond as it pulls the needed information off the HUDS site. The creator said it took a full day to figure out how best to implement the idea, and about 15 to 20 hours since then...
...that, although HUPD has the power to arrest and carries out public functions on behalf of the state, it is not an "agency" subject to the public record laws. To provide some background on the case, in June 2003, The Crimson, citing public records law (G.L.c. 66, §10), requested all police records "including but not limited to incident reports" from the Boston and Cambridge Police Departments as well as HUPD. Both the Cambridge and Boston police departments complied, providing us with documents, including incident reports. But HUPD, claiming to be a private entity, denied our request. HUPD is endowed...
...HUPD provides campus security. Some officers of the HUPD have been appointed special State police officers pursuant to G.L. c. 22C, § 63, and some HUPD officers are deputy sheriffs in Middlesex and Suffolk counties. On June 2, 2003, the Harvard Crimson, Inc. (Crimson), a daily student newspaper, requested certain documents from the Cambridge police department and the HUPD, pursuant to G.L. c. 66, § 10. The Crimson subsequently made a request for documents from the Boston police department. It sought "all records, including but not limited to incident reports and correspondence, related to certain incidents listed on HUPD...
...argument, documents in the custody of the HUPD do not become "public records" simply because some of the HUPD officers have been appointed "special" State police officers under G.L. c. 22C, § 63. This statute provides that the colonel of the department of State police (colonel), at the request of an officer of an educational institution, may appoint employees of such institution as special State police officers. See G.L. c. 22C, § 63. The powers conferred on employees who are so appointed are, by statute, far less extensive than the powers of regular police officers...
...special State police officer, a person must be "an employee of an agency described in [G.L. c. 22C, §§ 56- 68]." 515 Code Mass. Regs. § 5.04(1) (1996). The regulations define "[a]gency" to include any college or university authorized by those statutory sections to request the appointment of "certain employees of such agency as special [S]tate police officers." 515 Code Mass. Regs. § 5.03. When a special State police officer's employment with the educational institution ends, the officer's appointment under G.L. c. 22C, § 63, also terminates. See 515 Code Mass. Regs...
