FOIA Request to Morehead State University regarding recent course syllabi on August 6, 2025.
A request for information was sent to Morehead State University under the Kentucky Open Records Act by NE Kentucky News. 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 from all departments, schools, and colleges, regardless of whether the courses were delivered in-person, online, or through hybrid formats.
The request also asks for relevant metadata associated with each course syllabus. This includes details such as the course title and number, instructor name, department or academic unit, and the course delivery format (online/in-person/hybrid).
NE Kentucky News emphasizes that access to these public records is crucial for fulfilling its role in providing transparency and holding public institutions accountable. The organization has requested a fee waiver based on its status as a media professional entity involved in gathering and reporting news to the public.
Additionally, NE Kentucky News is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies using Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws. More information about this coalition can be found at https://stopsecrecy.org/about/.
