FOIA Request to Suny College of Technology at Alfred 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 Suny College of Technology at Alfred. The request seeks detailed records concerning 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, N.Y. Pub. Off. Law sec. 84 et seq., and emphasizes a preference for receiving the information 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). Empire State Today acknowledges that not all fields may be present in every record but requests that all responsive records be produced regardless.
In instances where portions of records are deemed exempt from disclosure, Empire State Today asks that non-exempt portions be released in redacted form rather than withheld entirely. The media organization also seeks a fee waiver due to its role in gathering and reporting news to the public.
The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting transparency by assisting media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through FOIA and Sunshine Laws. More information about this coalition can be found on their website: https://stopsecrecy.org/about/.
