FOIA Request to Suny College of Technology at Delhi regarding recent course syllabi on August 6, 2025.
The Mohawk Valley Times has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Suny College of Technology at Delhi. The request seeks access to a complete list of course syllabi for all undergraduate and graduate courses offered during the Spring 2025 academic semester. This includes syllabi for courses conducted in-person, online, or in hybrid formats across all departments, schools, and colleges within the institution.
The request specifically asks for additional metadata associated with each course syllabus. This metadata includes the course title and number, instructor name, department or academic unit, and the delivery format of the course (online/in-person/hybrid). The aim is to obtain this information in an electronic format.
The request was made under the New York Freedom of Information Law, N.Y. Pub. Off. Law sec. 84 et seq., by Mohawk Valley Times as part of their commitment to providing comprehensive news coverage on local governmental affairs. As a media organization dedicated to transparency and accountability in public institutions, they have requested a fee waiver based on their role in disseminating information to the public.
The requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that assists media companies and advocacy groups in investigating government agencies through FOIA requests. More information about this coalition can be found on their website: https://stopsecrecy.org/about/.
