FOIA Request to Central Alabama Community College regarding recent course syllabi on August 6, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by EC Alabama News to Central Alabama Community College on August 6, 2025. The request seeks access to a complete list of course syllabi for all undergraduate and graduate courses offered during the Spring 2025 semester. This includes syllabi for courses across all departments, schools, and colleges, regardless of whether they were offered in-person, online, or in hybrid formats.
The request also asks for relevant metadata associated with these courses. Specifically, it seeks information on the course title and number, instructor name, department or academic unit, and the course delivery format (online/in-person/hybrid).
As part of their role in gathering and reporting news to the public, EC Alabama News emphasizes the importance of accessing public records to ensure transparency and accountability from public institutions. They have requested a fee waiver for this FOIA request based on their status as a media organization.
The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that assists media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
