Maryland State Wire has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to Frostburg State University seeking access to a comprehensive list of course syllabi for all undergraduate and graduate courses offered during the Spring 2025 academic semester. The request was made under the Maryland Public Information Act Title 4 and was sent on August 6, 2025.
The request specifies that the syllabi should include all courses across various departments, schools, and colleges, regardless of whether they were conducted in-person, online, or in hybrid formats. Additionally, the request asks for relevant metadata such as course title and number, instructor name, department or academic unit, and course delivery format.
As a media organization dedicated to providing accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, Maryland State Wire emphasizes the importance of accessing public records to fulfill its role in holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency. The organization has also requested a fee waiver for this information based on its status as a media professional entity.
The requester 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 requests. More information about this coalition can be found at https://stopsecrecy.org/about/.
