FOIA Request to Alabama State University regarding recent course syllabi on August 6, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by River Region Times to Alabama State University on August 6, 2025. 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 from all departments, schools, and colleges at the university, regardless of whether the courses were conducted in-person, online, or through hybrid formats.
The request also asks for associated metadata such as course titles and numbers, instructor names, department or academic unit affiliations, and the format of course delivery. The aim is to gather information that will help hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency to the public.
River Region Times has requested that this information be provided in an electronic format. They have also indicated their eligibility for a fee waiver due to their role as a media organization committed to reporting news 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 requests.
Our team will continue to keep you updated as we gather and report news related to this request and other matters of public interest. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further clarification regarding this matter.
