FOIA Request to Louisiana Board of Regents Regarding State University Employees' Salaries on November 14, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Pelican State News have submitted a request for records under the Louisiana Public Records Act § 44:1 et seq. The request was sent electronically to the Louisiana Board of Regents on November 14, 2024.
The records we seek pertain to the compensation details of all university employees, including those working in community colleges across the state. Specifically, we have asked for a list with the following fields: Name, Title, University Name, Employment Type, and Compensation Amount.
As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.
We will continue our pursuit of this information and keep you updated on any developments. As always, our goal is to ensure that public institutions are held accountable and that transparency is maintained for the benefit of our readers and the general public.
