FOIA Request to Pennsylvania Western University – Edinboro regarding public university FY 2024 employee salaries on December 5, 2025.
A request has been made under the Pennsylvania Right to Know Law by Keystone Today, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs. The request seeks detailed records of employee compensation for all individuals employed by Pennsylvania Western University – Edinboro during Fiscal Year 2024. This fiscal year is generally defined as spanning from September 2024 through July 2025, though the request acknowledges that the university may have different fiscal-year boundaries.
The requested records include various data fields such as 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 (e.g., salary, hourly, stipend, bonus), and Employment Type (full-time or part-time). Keystone Today has requested that all responsive records be produced even if some fields are missing. If certain portions of a record are deemed exempt from disclosure, they ask that non-exempt portions 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 emphasizes the importance of access to public records for transparency and accountability purposes. They have also requested a fee waiver based on their role in disseminating information.
The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization assisting media companies and advocacy groups in investigating government agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
