FOIA Request to The College of New Jersey regarding public university FY 2024 employee salaries on December 5, 2025.
A request for information has been submitted to The College of New Jersey under the New Jersey Open Public Records Act. The request seeks detailed records of employee compensation for all individuals employed by the University during Fiscal Year 2024. This fiscal year is generally understood to span from September 2024 through July 2025, though the request allows for variations based on the University’s official definitions.
The requested records include a variety of data fields: Fiscal Year, Employee Name, Gender (if recorded), Age or Year of Birth (if not exempt), Date of Birth (if not exempt or limited to month/year), Employer Name, Title or Position, Department, Hire Date, Compensation Amount (including base pay and any additional pay), Compensation Type (such as salary, hourly, stipend, bonus), and Employment Type (full-time or part-time).
It is acknowledged that not all fields may be present in every record. The request asks for all responsive records to be produced regardless of completeness. In cases where portions of a record are deemed exempt from disclosure, it is requested that non-exempt sections be released in redacted form rather than withheld entirely.
This request was made by Garden State Times with an emphasis on the role of media in ensuring transparency and accountability within public institutions. As such, a fee waiver is requested based on their status as a media organization. The sender is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, which aids media entities in investigating governmental actions through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
