A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by Buckeye Reporter to The Ohio State University At Lima on August 6, 2025.

This includes syllabi for courses conducted in-person, online, or through hybrid formats across all departments, schools, and colleges within the university.
The requested information also includes relevant metadata such as the course title and number, instructor name, department or academic unit, and the course delivery format.
