FOIA Request to Arizona State University regarding Public University FY 2024 Employee Salaries on December 5, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by the Grand Canyon Times to Arizona State University (ASU) seeking detailed records of employee compensation for Fiscal Year 2024. The request, sent on December 5, 2025, aims to obtain comprehensive data on salaries and other forms of compensation for all individuals employed by the university during this period.
The requested information includes 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 and type (e.g., salary or hourly), and employment type (full-time or part-time). The request emphasizes that even if some fields are not present in every record, all responsive records should be produced. In cases where parts of a record are exempt from disclosure under the law, the non-exempt portions should be released in redacted form.
This request is made under the Arizona Public Records Law § 39.101 et seq., with a preference for receiving the information in electronic format. As a media organization dedicated to transparency and accountability in public institutions, Grand Canyon Times has requested a fee waiver based on its role in gathering and disseminating news to the public.
The requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that assists media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
