FOIA Request to University of Nevada-Reno regarding recent course syllabi on August 6, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by Reno Reporter to the University of Nevada-Reno 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 from all departments, schools, and colleges, regardless of whether the courses were conducted in-person, online, or through hybrid formats.
The requested information also includes relevant metadata such as course titles and numbers, instructor names, department or academic unit affiliations, and the delivery format of each course. The Reno Reporter emphasizes that access to these public records is crucial for fulfilling their role in providing transparency and holding public institutions accountable.
The requester has also noted their affiliation with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through FOIA requests. More information about this organization can be found at this link.
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.
