FOIA Request to Indiana University-East regarding recent course syllabi on August 6, 2025.
A request was made by EC Indiana News under the Indiana Access to Public Records Act for access to course syllabi from Indiana University-East. The request specifically targets syllabi for all undergraduate and graduate courses offered during the Spring 2025 semester. This includes courses conducted in-person, online, or through hybrid formats across all departments, schools, and colleges within the university.
The requested information encompasses a complete list of course syllabi along with relevant metadata such as course title and number, instructor name, department or academic unit, and course delivery format. The requester emphasized the importance of accessing these public records to ensure transparency and accountability in public institutions.
The individual making the request is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies using Freedom of Information laws.
