FOIA Request to Indiana University Northwest regarding Public University FY 2024 Employee Salaries on December 5, 2025.
On December 5, 2025, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to Indiana University Northwest by Hoosier State Today. The request seeks comprehensive records related to employee compensation for all individuals employed by the university during Fiscal Year 2024. This inquiry is made under the Indiana Access to Public Records Act § 5-14-3-1 et seq., with a preference for receiving the information in electronic format.
The requested records 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 specifies that if any portion of a record is exempt from disclosure, all non-exempt portions should be released in redacted form rather than withheld entirely.
Hoosier State Today emphasizes its role in providing transparency and holding public institutions accountable through news reporting. As part of this mission and being a member of The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy—a non-profit organization aiding media companies in investigating governmental agencies—the requester has asked for a fee waiver typically available to media professionals.
