FOIA Request to CUNY John Jay College of Criminal Justice regarding state university employee compensation data on November 4, 2025.
Empire State Today has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the CUNY John Jay College of Criminal Justice seeking detailed records on employee compensation for Fiscal Year 2025. The request, sent under the New York Freedom of Information Law, aims to obtain comprehensive data about individuals employed by the university during this period.
The specific information requested includes employee names, gender, age or year of birth, date of birth, employer name, job title or position, hire date, compensation amount (including base pay and any additional pay), compensation type (such as salary or hourly), and employment type (full-time or part-time). The media organization has expressed a preference for receiving these records in electronic format.
As a media entity committed to transparency and accountability in public institutions, Empire State Today has also requested a fee waiver for accessing these records. This request is supported by their affiliation with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental actions through FOIA and Sunshine Laws. More information about this coalition can be found at https://stopsecrecy.org/about/.
