On August 6, 2025, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to James A Rhodes State College by Buckeye Reporter. The request seeks access to a comprehensive list of course syllabi for all undergraduate and graduate courses offered during the Spring 2025 academic semester. This includes syllabi from all departments, schools, and colleges within the institution, regardless of whether the courses were conducted in-person, online, or through hybrid formats.
The requested information is expected to include metadata such as course titles and numbers, instructor names, department or academic unit affiliations, and the delivery format of each course. The Buckeye Reporter emphasizes that this information is vital for their role in holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency.
In the request, Buckeye Reporter has also indicated their eligibility for a fee waiver as a media professional. They are affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, an organization dedicated to assisting media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies using 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.
