A request has been made under the Ohio Open Records Law by Buckeye Reporter, a media organization dedicated to comprehensive and accurate news coverage. The request seeks access to a complete list of course syllabi for all undergraduate and graduate courses offered during the Spring 2025 academic semester at Kent State University At Salem. This includes syllabi for courses across all departments, schools, and colleges, regardless of whether they are conducted in-person, online, or in hybrid formats.

The requested information also includes relevant metadata such as course title and number, instructor name, department or academic unit, and course delivery format (online/in-person/hybrid). The request emphasizes the importance of these records for holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Furthermore, Buckeye Reporter has requested a fee waiver due to their role as a media professional involved in disseminating information.
