FOIA Request to Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Fayette- Eberly regarding public university FY 2024 employee salaries on December 5, 2025.
A request for information was submitted to Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Fayette- Eberly by Keystone Today, a media organization dedicated to covering local governmental affairs. The request was made under the Pennsylvania Right to Know Law and seeks records of employee compensation for individuals employed by the university during Fiscal Year 2024.
The requested data includes several specific fields: 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 (such as salary, hourly wage, stipend, or bonus), and employment type (full-time or part-time).
Keystone Today has expressed a preference for receiving this information in electronic format. The request also notes that if any portion of the records is deemed exempt from disclosure, all non-exempt portions should be released in redacted form rather than withheld entirely. As a member of the media involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, Keystone Today has requested a fee waiver based on their role in providing transparency and holding public institutions accountable.
The requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that assists media companies and advocacy groups in investigating government agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
