FOIA Request to Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Great Valley 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 Great Valley on December 5, 2025. The request seeks detailed records concerning employee compensation for all individuals employed by the university during Fiscal Year 2024. This request was made under the Pennsylvania Right to Know Law, with a preference for receiving the information in electronic format.
The requested records include various data 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 any additional pay), compensation type (e.g., salary, hourly, stipend, bonus), 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. If any part of a record is deemed exempt from disclosure, they ask for the non-exempt portions to be released in redacted form.
As a member of Keystone Today and affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy—a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting transparency—this request emphasizes the importance of access to public records for media professionals. It also mentions eligibility for a fee waiver due to their role in gathering and reporting news.
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.
