FOIA Request to Northeast Ohio Medical University regarding Public University FY 2024 Employee Salaries on December 5, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by Buckeye Reporter to the Northeast Ohio Medical University. The request seeks detailed records of employee compensation for all individuals employed by the university during Fiscal Year 2024. This request is made under the Ohio Open Records Law, §149.43 et seq., and a preference for electronic format has been expressed.
The records requested include various data fields such as Fiscal Year, Employee Name, Gender, Age or Year of Birth, Date of Birth, Employer Name, Title or Position, Department, Hire Date, Compensation Amount (including base pay and any additional pay), Compensation Type (e.g., salary, hourly wage), and Employment Type (full-time or part-time). It is acknowledged that not all fields may be present in every record; however, the production of all responsive records is requested regardless of completeness. In cases where portions of a record are exempt from disclosure, it is requested that non-exempt portions be released in redacted form rather than withheld entirely.
Buckeye Reporter emphasizes its role in gathering and reporting news to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency to the public. As a media organization involved in disseminating information to the public, they believe they qualify for a fee waiver for this request.
The requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through FOIA and Sunshine Laws.
