FOIA Request to Skyline College regarding Public University FY 2024 Employee Salaries on December 5, 2025.
Golden State Today, a media organization dedicated to delivering accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to Skyline College. The request seeks comprehensive records of employee compensation for all individuals employed by the university during Fiscal Year 2024. This fiscal year is generally understood to span from September 2024 through July 2025, though the request allows for variations based on the university’s official definitions.
The specific data fields requested include fiscal year, employee name, gender (if recorded), 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 any additional pay), compensation type (such as salary, hourly wage, stipend, or bonus), and employment type (full-time or part-time). The request acknowledges that not all fields may be present in every record but asks for all responsive records regardless of completeness. If any part of a record is deemed exempt from disclosure, the request seeks the release of non-exempt portions in redacted form rather than withholding entire documents.
As a member of the media involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, Golden State Today emphasizes its role in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency. They assert eligibility for a fee waiver due to their status as a media professional. Additionally, they are affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, which aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
