FOIA Request to Cuny School of Law regarding Public University FY 2024 Employee Salaries on December 5, 2025.
Empire State Today has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Cuny School of Law. The request seeks detailed records of employee compensation for all individuals employed by the University during Fiscal Year 2024. This request is made under the New York Freedom of Information Law, N.Y. Pub. Off. Law sec. 84 et seq., and it is preferred that the information be provided in electronic format.
The specific data fields requested include Fiscal Year, Employee Name, Gender, Age or Year of Birth, Date of Birth, Employer Name, Title or Position, Department, 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 request acknowledges that not all fields may exist in every record but asks for all responsive records regardless of completeness. In cases where parts of a record are exempt from disclosure, Empire State Today requests that non-exempt portions be released in redacted form.
Empire State Today emphasizes its role in gathering and reporting news to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency to the public. As such, they have requested a fee waiver typically available to media professionals.
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 using FOIA laws. More information about this organization can be found at https://stopsecrecy.org/about/.
