FOIA Request to Cuny York College regarding State University Employee Compensation Data, FY 2025 on November 4, 2025.
Empire State Today has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to Cuny York College seeking detailed records of employee compensation for the fiscal year 2025. The request was made under the New York Freedom of Information Law, aiming to obtain these records in an electronic format.
The requested data includes comprehensive information about each employee at the university. Specifically, Empire State Today is asking for records that include the employee’s name, gender (if recorded), age or year of birth (if not exempt), date of birth (if not exempt or limited to month/year), employer name, title or position, hire date, compensation amount (including base pay and any additional pay), compensation type (such as salary, hourly wage, stipend, or bonus), and employment type (full-time or part-time).
As a media organization committed to transparency and accountability in public institutions, Empire State Today emphasizes its role in gathering and reporting news. The organization has requested a fee waiver for this FOIA request due to its status as a media entity. Furthermore, Empire State Today is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit corporation dedicated to investigating governmental agencies and promoting transparency through the use of Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
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.
