FOIA Request to University of Toledo regarding recent course syllabi on August 6, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by Buckeye Reporter to the University of Toledo on August 6, 2025. The request seeks access to a comprehensive list of course syllabi for all undergraduate and graduate courses offered during the Spring 2025 academic semester. This includes syllabi from all departments, schools, and colleges within the university, irrespective of whether the courses were conducted in-person, online, or through hybrid formats.
The request specifically asks for associated metadata such as course titles and numbers, instructor names, department or academic unit affiliations, and details about the course delivery format. Buckeye Reporter emphasizes that access to these public records is crucial for fulfilling its role in providing transparency and holding public institutions accountable.
The requester has also highlighted their affiliation with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies using FOIA and Sunshine Laws. More information about this coalition can be found on their website at https://stopsecrecy.org/about/.
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.
