FOIA Request to Delaware Technical And Community College regarding recent course syllabi on August 6, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by Sussex Review to Delaware Technical And Community College on August 6, 2025. The request seeks access to a comprehensive list of course syllabi for all undergraduate and graduate courses offered during the Spring 2025 academic semester. This includes syllabi for courses across all departments, schools, and colleges, regardless of whether they were conducted in-person, online, or through hybrid formats.
The request also asks for relevant metadata associated with these courses. Specifically, it seeks information on the course title and number, instructor name, department or academic unit, and the delivery format of each course (online/in-person/hybrid).
Sussex Review has emphasized the importance of accessing public records to fulfill its professional responsibilities as a media organization. They argue that such transparency is crucial for holding public institutions accountable and providing clear information to the public. As part of their role in disseminating news, they have requested a fee waiver typically available to media professionals.
The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies using FOIA and Sunshine Laws.
