FOIA Request to Louisiana State University And Agricultural & Mechanical College regarding Public University FY 2024 Employee Salaries on December 5, 2025.
A request for information under the Louisiana Public Records Act has been submitted to Louisiana State University And Agricultural & Mechanical College. The request seeks detailed records of employee compensation for all individuals employed by the university during Fiscal Year 2024. This period is generally understood to span from September 2024 through July 2025, although the university’s specific fiscal-year boundaries are also requested if they differ.
The records requested include 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 (including base pay and any additional pay), Compensation Type (e.g., salary, hourly, stipend, bonus), 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. In cases where parts of a record are exempt from disclosure, the request seeks the release of non-exempt portions in redacted form.
This request was made by Pelican State News as part of their commitment to comprehensive news coverage on local governmental affairs. As members of the media involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, they have requested a fee waiver based on their role in providing transparency and holding public institutions accountable.
The requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating government agencies using Freedom of Information laws.
