FOIA Request to Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Dubois regarding Public University FY 2024 Employee Salaries on December 5, 2025.
On December 5, 2025, Keystone Today submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Dubois. The request seeks comprehensive records related to employee compensation for all individuals employed by the university during Fiscal Year 2024. This request is made under the Pennsylvania Right to Know Law, and it emphasizes a preference for receiving the information in electronic format.
The specific data fields requested include the 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. If certain portions of a record are deemed exempt from disclosure, Keystone Today requests that non-exempt portions be released in redacted form rather than withheld entirely.
As a media organization dedicated to providing news coverage on local governmental affairs and ensuring transparency and accountability of public institutions, Keystone Today has also requested a fee waiver. This waiver is sought based on their role in gathering and disseminating information to the public.
The requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information laws.
