FOIA Request to Grambling State University regarding public university FY 2024 employee salaries on December 5, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by Pelican State News to Grambling State University seeking detailed records of employee compensation for the fiscal year 2024. The request, made under the Louisiana Public Records Act § 44:1 et seq., aims to obtain comprehensive data about university employees’ salaries and related information.
The request specifically asks for records that include various data fields such as the fiscal year, employee name, gender, age or year of birth (if not exempt), date of birth (if not exempt or limited to month/year), employer name, title or position, department, hire date, compensation amount (including base pay and any additional pay), compensation type (e.g., salary, hourly, stipend, bonus), and employment type (full-time or part-time).
Pelican State News has requested these records in electronic format and seeks any available data even if some fields are missing. In cases where parts of a record are deemed exempt from disclosure, they have asked for non-exempt portions to be released in redacted form rather than withheld entirely.
As a media organization committed to transparency and accountability in public institutions, Pelican State News has 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 supports media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through FOIA requests.
