FOIA Request to California State University-Channel Islands regarding Public University FY 2024 Employee Salaries on December 5, 2025.
Golden State Today has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to California State University-Channel Islands. The request seeks detailed records concerning employee compensation for individuals employed by the university during Fiscal Year 2024. This request is made under the California Public Records Act § 6250 et seq., with a preference for receiving the information in electronic format.
The requested records include comprehensive data fields such as fiscal year, employee name, gender, age or year of birth, date of birth, employer name, title or position, department, hire date, compensation amount (including base pay and any additional pay), compensation type (e.g., salary, hourly wage), and employment type (full-time or part-time). The request specifies that if any portion of a record is exempt from disclosure, all non-exempt portions should be released in redacted form rather than withheld entirely.
Golden State Today emphasizes the importance of accessing these public records to fulfill its role in gathering and reporting news to the public. The organization highlights its commitment to holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency. As part of this effort, Golden State Today requests a fee waiver for accessing these records due to its status as a media professional entity.
Additionally, Golden State Today is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through FOIA and Sunshine Laws. More information about this coalition can be found on their website: https://stopsecrecy.org/about/.
