Opinion

November 21, 1985

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Orest V. Maresca, J.).

Petitioner seeks access to the curricula vitae of all faculty at Baruch College who were promoted to full professor during the last five years. In that regard, the deletion of such identifying information as names, addresses and Social Security numbers will not impede petitioner's ability to compare his credentials to those of the other professional employees, yet will protect the individuals involved from an unwarranted invasion of their personal privacy. (Public Officers Law § 87 [b] and 89 [2]; see also, Matter of Westchester Rockland Newspapers v Kimball, 50 N.Y.2d 575.)
