FOIA Request to J F Ingram State Technical College regarding recent course syllabi on August 6, 2025.
The River Region Times has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to J F Ingram State Technical College. The request seeks access to a complete 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 request also asks for relevant metadata associated with these courses. Specifically, it seeks information such as the course title and number, instructor name, department or academic unit, and the course delivery format (online/in-person/hybrid).
The River Region Times emphasizes its role in gathering and reporting news to the public. The organization underscores that access to public records is crucial for holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency. As a media professional involved in disseminating information, the requester believes they are eligible for a fee waiver.
Additionally, the requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that assists media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies using Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
