FOIA Request to Angelo State University regarding recent course syllabi on August 6, 2025.
A request has been submitted to Angelo State University under the Texas Public Information Act for access to a complete list of course syllabi from the most recent academic semester, Spring 2025. The request was made by Concho Valley News, a media organization dedicated to covering local governmental affairs. The requested information includes syllabi for all undergraduate and graduate courses across various departments, schools, and colleges, regardless of whether they were offered in-person, online, or in hybrid formats.
The request specifically asks for any relevant metadata associated with the syllabi. This includes details such as the course title and number, instructor name, department or academic unit, and the course delivery format (online/in-person/hybrid).
The media organization emphasizes its role in gathering and reporting news to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency. They have also requested a fee waiver for accessing these records due to their status as a media professional. Additionally, the requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, an organization that aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information 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.
