FOIA Request to Wright State University-Main regarding recent course syllabi on August 6, 2025.

A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by Buckeye Reporter to Wright State University-Main seeking access to educational records. The request, sent on August 6, 2025, specifically asks for a complete list of course syllabi for all undergraduate and graduate courses offered during the Spring 2025 semester. This includes syllabi from all departments, schools, and colleges at the university, regardless of whether the courses were conducted in-person, online, or in hybrid formats.

The request also seeks additional metadata related to each course syllabus. This includes details such as the course title and number, instructor name, department or academic unit, and the delivery format of the course (online/in-person/hybrid). The requester emphasizes the importance of accessing these public records as part of their role in providing transparency and holding public institutions accountable.
