FOIA Request to University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler regarding public university FY 2024 employee salaries on December 5, 2025.
A request for information has been submitted to the University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler under the Texas Public Information Act. The request, sent by a representative from Tyler Reporter, seeks detailed records concerning 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 adjustments may be made based on the University’s specific fiscal definitions.
The requested data includes several 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 additional pay), Compensation Type (such as salary or hourly), and Employment Type (full-time or part-time). The requester acknowledges that not all fields may be present in every record but requests that all available records be provided. In cases where portions of records are deemed exempt from disclosure, the requester asks for non-exempt portions to be released in redacted form.
The Tyler Reporter emphasizes its role in gathering and reporting news to the public as a member of the media. They argue that access to these public records is crucial for maintaining transparency and accountability within public institutions. Furthermore, they have requested a fee waiver due to their status as a media professional.
The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization dedicated to investigating governmental agencies and promoting transparency through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
