FOIA Request to Michigan Technological University regarding recent course syllabi on August 6, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to Michigan Technological University by a representative from UP Gazette. The request seeks access to a comprehensive list of course syllabi for all undergraduate and graduate courses offered during the Spring 2025 academic semester. This includes syllabi for courses across all departments, schools, and colleges, regardless of whether they were conducted in-person, online, or in hybrid formats.
The requested information also encompasses relevant metadata such as the course title and number, instructor name, department or academic unit, and the course delivery format. The requestor emphasized the importance of accessing public records to fulfill their professional responsibilities as a member of the media. They also requested a fee waiver based on their role in disseminating information to the public.
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.
