FOIA Request to Northeast Ohio Medical University regarding recent course syllabi on August 6, 2025.

A request was submitted to the Northeast Ohio Medical University under the Ohio Open Records Law, seeking access to a comprehensive list of course syllabi for all undergraduate and graduate courses offered during the Spring 2025 semester. The request was made by Buckeye Reporter, a media organization focused on local governmental affairs.

The records requested include syllabi from all departments, schools, and colleges within the university, covering courses offered in-person, online, or in hybrid formats. Additionally, the request specifies that relevant metadata should be included with each syllabus. This metadata includes the course title and number, instructor name, department or academic unit, and course delivery format.

Buckeye Reporter has expressed that access to these public records is crucial for their role in providing transparency and holding public institutions accountable. They have also requested a fee waiver as they are 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 assists media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws. More information about this coalition can be found on their website: https://stopsecrecy.org/about/.
