FOIA Request to Frostburg State University regarding Public University FY 2024 Employee Salaries on December 5, 2025.
Maryland State Wire has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to Frostburg State University. 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 Maryland Public Information Act Title 4 and aims to obtain the information in an 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 (including base pay and any additional pay), compensation type (such as salary or hourly), and employment type (full-time or part-time). The request specifies that if any portion of a record is exempt from disclosure, non-exempt portions should be released in redacted form rather than withheld entirely.
Maryland State Wire emphasizes its role in gathering and reporting news to the public. Access to these public records is deemed essential for holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency. The organization also requests a fee waiver based on its status as a media professional.
The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through FOIA and Sunshine Laws.
