FOIA Request to Atlanta Metropolitan State College regarding Public University FY 2024 Employee Salaries on December 5, 2025.
The Peach Tree Times has submitted a formal request under the Georgia Open Records Act to Atlanta Metropolitan State College. The request seeks detailed records of employee compensation for all individuals employed by the university during Fiscal Year 2024. The fiscal year is generally understood to span from September 2024 through July 2025, although the college’s specific fiscal boundaries may vary.
The requested information includes 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), and Employment Type (full-time or part-time). The request emphasizes that even if some fields are not present in every record, all responsive records should be produced. If certain portions of a record are exempt from disclosure, it is requested that non-exempt portions be released in redacted form rather than withheld entirely.
The Peach Tree Times highlights its role in providing transparency and holding public institutions accountable. As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, they have requested a fee waiver for accessing these public records. Additionally, the requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, an organization that assists media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies using Freedom of Information laws.
