FOIA Request to California State University, Dominguez Hills regarding public university FY 2024 employee salaries on December 5, 2025.
A request has been made under the California Public Records Act by Golden State Today, a media organization focused on local governmental affairs. The request seeks comprehensive records of employee compensation for all individuals employed by California State University, Dominguez Hills during Fiscal Year 2024. The fiscal year is generally understood to span from September 2024 through July 2025, though the university’s specific definitions are requested if they differ.
The requested data includes various fields such as fiscal year, employee name, gender, age or year of birth (if not exempt), date of birth (if not exempt or limited to month/year), employer name, title or position, department, hire date, compensation amount (including base pay and additional pay), compensation type (e.g., salary, hourly), and employment type (full-time or part-time).
Golden State Today has expressed an understanding that not all fields may be present in every record but requests the production of all responsive records regardless. If any portion of a record is deemed exempt from disclosure, they ask for non-exempt portions to be released in redacted form rather than withheld entirely.
The requestor has also sought a fee waiver based on their role as a media professional involved in gathering and reporting news to the public. This aligns with their commitment to transparency and accountability in public institutions.
