FOIA Request to North Carolina State University At Raleigh regarding public university FY 2024 employee salaries on December 5, 2025.
A request for information under the North Carolina Public Records Law has been submitted to North Carolina State University At Raleigh. The request seeks detailed records of employee compensation for all individuals employed by the university during Fiscal Year 2024. The fiscal year is generally understood to span from September 2024 through July 2025, although the request acknowledges that the university may use different fiscal-year boundaries and asks for clarification if this is the case.
The specific data fields requested include fiscal year, employee name, gender, 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 wage, stipend, or bonus), and employment type (full-time or part-time).
The requester emphasizes that they are seeking all responsive records regardless of whether each field is present in every record. In cases where parts of a record are deemed exempt from disclosure, they ask that non-exempt portions be released in redacted form rather than withheld entirely.
