FOIA Request to SUNY At Fredonia 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 State University of New York at Fredonia. The request seeks detailed records of employee compensation for all individuals employed by the university during Fiscal Year 2024. This request was made under the New York Freedom of Information Law, with a preference for receiving the information in electronic format.
The requested records include various data fields such as fiscal year, employee name, gender, age or year of birth, date of birth, employer name, title or position, department, hire date, compensation amount and type, and employment type. The media organization has acknowledged that not all fields may be present in every record but requests that all responsive records be produced regardless. If any part of a record is deemed exempt from disclosure, Empire State Today asks that non-exempt portions be released in redacted form rather than withheld entirely.
As members of the media involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, Empire State Today emphasizes its role in ensuring transparency and accountability among public institutions. They have also requested a fee waiver based on their status as a media professional. The organization is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, which aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
Our team will continue to keep you updated as we gather and report news related to this request and other matters of public interest. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further clarification regarding this matter.
