FOIA Request to University of Oklahoma – Douglass Learning Center regarding Public University FY 2024 Employee Salaries on December 5, 2025.
Sooner State News has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the University of Oklahoma – Douglass Learning Center seeking detailed records on employee compensation for Fiscal Year 2024. The request was made under the Oklahoma Open Records Act and aims to obtain information in an electronic format.
The requested records include comprehensive data on all individuals employed by the university during the specified fiscal year. This includes details 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 specifies that if any portion of a record is exempt from disclosure, non-exempt portions should be released in redacted form rather than withheld entirely. The news organization emphasizes its role in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public as justification for a fee waiver.
The requester 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 laws.
