Why not put a paragraph or two in the RM policy on legal holds and let the attorneys "go legal" over those documents which are not records?


"Legally Required Suspension of Records Destruction 

This provision outlines the policy of the university to retain all documents related to any impending or active governmental investigation or threatened or pending litigation. The procedure should include a procedure for issuing a records-hold notification through the president’s office to all employees who might have access to records that are related to the proceeding and to suspend any potential destruction of records subject to the hold. This includes records in electronic form and backup materials."
