FOIA Request to Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Brandywine 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 Brandywine on December 5, 2025. The request, made under the Pennsylvania Right to Know Law, seeks detailed records of employee compensation for all individuals employed by the university during Fiscal Year 2024. The request was sent by Keystone Today, a media organization focused on local governmental affairs.
The requested information includes a comprehensive list of data fields such as the 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 any additional pay), compensation type (e.g., salary, hourly wage), and employment type (full-time or part-time). The requester specified that if any portion of a record is deemed exempt from disclosure, non-exempt portions should be released in redacted form rather than withheld entirely.
Keystone Today emphasized its role in gathering and reporting news to the public and highlighted its eligibility for a fee waiver as a media professional. The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating government agencies through FOIA and Sunshine Laws.
We look forward to receiving this information in an electronic format as it will greatly aid in our reporting efforts. As always, we remain open for any questions or clarifications regarding this request.
