FOIA Request to University of Toledo regarding State University Employee Compensation Data, FY 2025 on December 2, 2025.
A request for public records has been submitted to the University of Toledo under the Ohio Open Records Law, §149.43 et seq., by Buckeye Reporter. The request seeks detailed information on employee compensation for all individuals employed by the university during Fiscal Year 2025. The requested data includes a variety of fields such as employee name, gender, 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 Buckeye Reporter emphasizes the importance of accessing these records to fulfill its role in providing transparency and holding public institutions accountable. As a media organization committed to comprehensive news coverage on local governmental affairs, it is requesting this information preferably in electronic format. Additionally, the requester notes their affiliation with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating government actions through Freedom of Information 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.
