FOIA Request to Wright State University-Lake regarding recent course syllabi on August 6, 2025.
A request has been made to Wright State University-Lake for access to public records under the Ohio Open Records Law. The request was sent by Buckeye Reporter, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs. The focus of this request is the complete list of course syllabi for all undergraduate and graduate courses offered during the Spring 2025 academic semester.
The requested information includes syllabi from all departments, schools, and colleges at Wright State University-Lake, covering courses delivered in-person, online, or in hybrid formats. In addition to the syllabi themselves, the request seeks relevant metadata such as course titles and numbers, instructor names, department or academic unit affiliations, and course delivery formats.
Buckeye Reporter emphasizes that access to these public records is crucial for fulfilling their professional responsibilities of holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency. They have also requested a fee waiver due to their status as a media organization involved in disseminating information to the public.
The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
