FOIA Request to Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Abington regarding public university FY 2024 employee salaries on December 5, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Abington on December 5, 2025. The request seeks comprehensive records related to employee compensation for the Fiscal Year 2024. This request is made under the Pennsylvania Right to Know Law, with a preference for receiving the information in electronic format.
The records requested include detailed data fields such as the 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 requester acknowledges that not all fields may be present in every record but requests that all responsive records be produced regardless of completeness. If certain portions of a record are exempt from disclosure, the requester asks for non-exempt portions to be released in redacted form rather than withheld entirely.
The requestor represents Keystone Today and is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy. This organization aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through FOIA and Sunshine Laws. They argue that access to these public records is crucial for holding institutions accountable and ensuring transparency. As a member of the media involved in news dissemination, they seek a fee waiver based on their professional role.
