FOIA Request to Georgia Institute of Technology regarding Public University FY 2024 Employee Salaries on December 5, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by Peach Tree Times to the Georgia Institute of Technology. The request seeks detailed records concerning employee compensation for all individuals employed by the university during Fiscal Year 2024. This inquiry is made under the Georgia Open Records Act § 50.18.70 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 acknowledges that not all fields may be present in every record but asks for all responsive records regardless of completeness. In cases where portions of a record are exempt from disclosure, it requests that non-exempt parts be released in redacted form.
Peach Tree Times emphasizes its role in gathering and reporting news to the public and argues for a fee waiver based on its status as a media organization. The requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, which supports media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through FOIA and Sunshine Laws.
