FOIA Request to North Carolina Central University regarding Public University FY 2024 Employee Salaries on December 5, 2025.
The Durham Reporter has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to North Carolina Central University. The request seeks comprehensive records of employee compensation for all individuals employed by the university during Fiscal Year 2024. This inquiry is made under the North Carolina Public Records Law, G.S. §132-1., with a preference for receiving the information in electronic format.
The requested records should 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 wage), and Employment Type (full-time or part-time). The Durham Reporter acknowledges that not all fields may be present in every record but requests that all responsive records be produced regardless. In cases where portions of a record are exempt from disclosure, the non-exempt parts should be released in redacted form rather than withheld entirely.
As a media organization committed to transparency and accountability in public institutions, the Durham Reporter emphasizes its role in disseminating information to the public. They also mention their eligibility for a fee waiver due to their status as a media professional. The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, which supports news media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through FOIA and Sunshine Laws.
We look forward to receiving this information in an electronic format as it will greatly aid in our reporting efforts. As always, we remain open for any questions or clarifications regarding this request.
