FOIA Request to Adams State University regarding Public University FY 2024 Employee Salaries on December 5, 2025.
Centennial State News has submitted a formal request under the Colorado Open Records Act to Adams State University. The request seeks detailed records of employee compensation for all individuals employed by the university during Fiscal Year 2024. The fiscal year is typically defined as spanning from September 2024 through July 2025, though the request allows for adjustments based on the university’s specific fiscal calendar.
The requested data includes several specific fields: Fiscal Year, Employee 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, Department, 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).
Centennial State News emphasizes that even if certain fields are not present in every record, all responsive records should be produced. In cases where parts of a record are deemed exempt from disclosure, the news organization requests that non-exempt portions be released in redacted form rather than withheld entirely.
As a media entity dedicated to transparency and accountability in public institutions, Centennial State News is seeking a fee waiver for this request. This aligns with their role in disseminating information to the public and holding institutions accountable.
The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization focused on enhancing transparency within governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
