FOIA Request to Texas A & M University-Central Texas regarding recent course syllabi on August 6, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by Centroplex News to Texas A & M University-Central Texas. The request seeks a comprehensive list of course syllabi for all undergraduate and graduate courses offered during the Spring 2025 semester. This includes syllabi from all departments, schools, and colleges, regardless of whether the courses were conducted in-person, online, or in hybrid formats.
The request specifies that the information should include relevant metadata such as course title and number, instructor name, department or academic unit, and course delivery format. Centroplex News has requested this information under the Texas Public Information Act and has asked for it to be provided in an electronic format.
Centroplex News emphasizes its role in gathering and reporting news to the public as part of its professional responsibilities. The organization argues that access to public records is crucial for holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency. Given their media status, they have also requested a fee waiver for this information.
The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information laws.
