FOIA Request to Paradise Valley Community College 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 Paradise Valley Community College on December 5, 2025. The request seeks comprehensive records related to employee compensation for all individuals employed by the university during Fiscal Year 2024. This request is made under the Arizona Public Records Law § 39.101 et seq., with a preference for receiving the information in electronic format.
The requested records aim to cover various data fields including the fiscal year, employee name, gender, age or year of birth, date of birth, employer name, title or position, department, hire date, compensation amount (base pay and any additional pay), compensation type (such as salary or hourly), and employment type (full-time or part-time). The request acknowledges that not all fields may be present in every record but asks for all responsive records regardless of completeness. If certain parts of a record are exempt from disclosure, the request asks for non-exempt portions to be released in redacted form.
The Grand Canyon Times emphasizes its role in gathering and reporting news to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency. As a media organization involved in disseminating information to the public, they believe they qualify for a fee waiver associated with this FOIA request.
Additionally, it is noted that the requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization dedicated to investigating governmental agencies and promoting transparency through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
