On August 10, 2026, I submitted several compliance questions to Northern Arizona University (NAU) Internal Audit and the Institutional Review Board (IRB) regarding the study NAU participates in, together with The Guidance Center and Flagstaff Shelter Services, through its James Wurgler MD Endowed Chair — I received zero answers, and not even a basic acknowledgment of the certified letters I sent.

On August 21, 2026, I formally requested the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) investigate the ethics and governance of this project.

On August 22, 2026, I submitted comprehensive public records requests under Arizona Public Records Law for complete documentation of this project.

There are now three paths the university can take:

Complete Transparency: If they have nothing to hide, they should promptly produce the documents and answer my questions. I know this will not happen — which functions as an admission of guilt on its own.

Administrative Silence: They might try to avoid my demand for documents, opting for absolute silence again. If this happens, on or before September 22, 2026, I will file a formal non-compliance complaint with the Arizona Ombudsman-Citizens’ Aide and update my complaints to ABOR.

The Exhaustion Strategy: Most likely, they will try to exhaust my stamina. This will include generating a list of documents they claim they cannot give me for fabricated reasons, heavy black-out redactions, distortions, and deceit — in the hope that I do not know my rights or how to counter them.

Let me be perfectly clear: at the first sign of institutional obstruction, I will immediately forward their responses to the Ombudsman and ABOR, and publicly document their attempts to conceal public data on this platform. No matter what happens next — if they do not produce the documents, I take immediate, and public, regulatory action.

I have also specifically structured my public records demands to close every technical escape route they might try. This means I have included domain routing parameters — so that even if the James Wurgler MD Endowed Chair attempts to claim separate entity status, if their internal emails or messages were written using the university’s network domain, on university computers, or using university-issued software — including Microsoft Teams, Slack, calendars, and server vaults — they are legally obligated to hand them over. If they think I do not know how Arizona Public Records Law works, and will not press this to its absolute limits, they are about to learn exactly how I fight.

Why a public university would risk its institutional reputation and IRB compliance standing to protect a predatory private behavioral health contractor like The Guidance Center in Flagstaff, AZ is hard to wrap my head around — but the insular, cozy social networks in this town mean they just might try to protect each other. This is nonprofit transparency failing in real time, in public.

It might take me months to pry these public records loose from their legal team — but I am entirely certain there is a paper trail of profound institutional liability sitting on those servers. I will continue to work this case until every single page is forced into the light.
