FOIA Request to The Ohio State University At Lima regarding state university employee compensation data, FY 2025 on December 2, 2025.
A request for public records has been submitted to The Ohio State University At Lima by Buckeye Reporter. The request, sent under the Ohio Open Records Law, seeks detailed information on employee compensation for all individuals employed by the university during Fiscal Year 2025. The requested data includes a comprehensive list of fields such as 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, 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 request emphasizes the importance of these records in ensuring transparency and accountability within public institutions. Buckeye Reporter is seeking this information in an electronic format and has also requested a fee waiver due to its role as a media organization involved in disseminating news to the public.
