University violated HEERA when it failed to exercise the same diligence and thoroughness as it would in other business affairs of importance. (Imperial Irrigation District (2023) PERB Decision No. 2861-M, p. 46.) University was not justified in its delay before responding to Union’s information request. Delays of six weeks or two months can be unreasonable in the absence of legitimate justification. (See, e.g., Petaluma City Elementary School District/Joint Union High School District (2016) PERB Decision No. 2485, pp. 24–25.) Here, University’s response more than four months after request only provided a link to a single document, and University did not indicate to which request this document might have been responsive, if any. Moreover, University’s tardy response was careless and unsubstantiated. (pp. 12-13.)
