FOIA Request to North Florida Community College regarding public university FY 2024 employee salaries on December 5, 2025.
A request for information has been submitted to North Florida Community College seeking records related to employee compensation for the fiscal year 2024. The request was made under Article I, section 24 of the Florida Constitution, and chapter 119, F.S., by Sunshine Sentinel, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The request specifically seeks copies of all records showing employee compensation for individuals employed by the university during Fiscal Year 2024. This includes data fields such as 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 (base pay and any additional pay), compensation type (e.g., salary, hourly, stipend, bonus), and employment type (full-time or part-time).
The Sunshine Sentinel has requested that these records be provided in electronic format. They have also noted that if any portion of a responsive record is determined to be exempt from disclosure, they would like all reasonably segregable non-exempt portions released in redacted form rather than withheld entirely.
In their request, Sunshine Sentinel has emphasized their role in gathering and reporting news to the public and expressed their belief that they are eligible for a fee waiver as a media professional. The organization is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, which assists media companies and advocacy groups in investigating state and federal governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
